Re: How 'bout a 5Y3 ?
A 5Y3 most likely will give you that "mushy" or "slugish" response on the lowend. A 5V4 keeps the lowend very "tight" or "solid." 5R4's are really nice sounding but hard to find and expensive when you do find them. They are often times to tall to fit in most amps but they sound fantastic!
