WOW and meg LOL.

A few months back I bought a job lot of valves (unseen) from an old radio
shop for £25. In it was a PX25 in its original box. I sold it on eBay for
150 quid!

"For starters, its midrange clarity approaches, but does not equal the
benchmark of the 2A3. In contrast, the PX25 is a warmer, more luxurious
sounding tube."

Wonder how they have managed to break a PX25 amp to make that true, IMHO
to one thing that a PX25 does more than just about anything else is
clarity (1), makes a 2a3 sound like a el34.

(1) though a 45 is very close, and I haven't tried a 26 yet before you
mention it Andy...
