RE: ST versus straight-side version of same tube

This is strictly my opinion, but over the past 50 years of using tubes, I always prefer the larger glass over the smaller, when applicable.

IMHO, the larger the glass, the more "tubey" it will sound.

I just replaced a regular 5AU4 with a Flare version and it really did sound much more tube like.
