Hi Dave

A properly restored 38-690 should deliver deep bass and noticeable treble - with the bass control set to max, and the Fidelity-Selectivity control set to maximum fidelity.

And, yes, a properly restored 38-690 will, most definitely, put any lower tube count set to shame, without a doubt.

I've owned one in the past...and had a few pass through here as repair jobs...so I know how they should sound; quite simply, SUPERB.
