High price for rarity? Witness the very rare Swedish Standard 33S29B, equivalent to 6SL7GT. It has a very similar design to the RCA 5691 which the Tube Depot touts as the "holy grail of 6SL7 tube types" - but the Standard version is much more rare. Sellers offer it for hundreds of dollars up to $1500 per.

The sonic quality of the vaunted 33S29B? Meh! Just as bland as the less expensive RCA 5691. There are much more exciting 6SL7 types, offering rich tonal balance and clarity, to be had for 1/10th the cost.

Anyone want to discuss the rare 7729? 12DT7? Others?
