Nick, make the sound files using the exact same mic, but changing the tubes.  That eliminates the other variables.

They say the heart of Rock & Roll is still beating, which is amazing if you consider all the blow it's done over the years.

"The Internet enables pompous blowhards to interact with other pompous blowhards in a big circle jerk of pomposity." - Bill Maher

"The negative aspects of this business, not only will continue to prevail, but will continue to accelerate in madness. Conditions aren't going to get better, because the economics of rock and roll are getting closer and closer to the economics of Big Business America." - Bill Graham

I will do so. Thanks for the suggestion. This will uncover the sound of the Grosser replacement solid state replacement.

I edited my post, it was long, boring, and I saved it on my laptop for future reference. I thought it was starting to go to off topic...

I am interested in listening to the Telefunken USA VF14k tube replacement... once I have two U47s', maybe I can persuade Fletcher to send me one tube for testing purposes. I can afford to buy it, if need be. And I'll have two different U47s to test the same tube with.

Go ahead and start getting jealous, it's not a sin (that I know of...)

Cheers

I'm curious as well! It seems to be similar concept to Klaus' "pocket rocket," the 414 mod that behaves like an  ELAM-251 at lower levels.
