    I always did like the Clear with the SW51, but I think I'm too much of a Senn guy. Which tubes are you running with the SW51?

    Running the stock Ruskie tubes. Adds just the right amount of treble extension without too much body. The Clear seems to be brighter than the Elex. What tubes are you using? The Senns are a great match. :)

    I run the Amperex Holland tubes. I've not heard the Elex myself so I can't comment too much about their relative difference, but I thought the synergy was much better with the Focals than the Senns, but I needed a slightly less distracting setup since I use it at work.

    Have you tried the Mullards? They're my favorite after the Russians.

    Mullards are nice.. But I felt they were a little too closed in with both the Elex & HD650. Amperex have a slight U shape presentation and less dynamic than the stock tube, but all in all, a damn fine match with Elex (Amperex had great imaging, though). Stock tube, to me, is still my daily driver. Should have a pair of Tungsram in soon. Have always really enjoyed those tubes in good amps.
