a little ecc82 type tube roling

(1/1)

rosconey:
did some tube rolling in my candella today-

nothing has changed -still think the brimars are the stinkiest tubes i bought,no life zero bass just no good in my system at all-

still like the tripple mica black plate rca's alot-second best overall-just a tad soft on top is the only thing they dont do right-

still love what the cbs/hyton 5814wa-monster bass great mids highs,just do everything right in my system-

glad i redesigned my case so i can swap tubes easy as all heck

WEEZ:
Hey rosco,

I like RCA's too. Have you ever tried Phillips 5814's?

My current favorite 12AU7 is the Amperex Holland ECC186/7316 PQ. i have the Mullard CV4003 12AU7s and they do a wonderful job with the midrange but seem to be too rolled off at the top end in my particular setup. i  recently bought a pair of the new JJ Tesla ECC802S 12AU7 longplates from Triode Electronics and they were very inexpensive but they sound like a million bucks in my Candela preamplifier. i think i would like to try a pair of the CBS/Hytron 5814wa's also.thanks....WCW III

Bill O'Connell:
Another great tube besides the CBS 5814A,  is the Raytheon triple mica blackplate square getter 12au7 or 5814A. It just seems to do everything right in my experience.

rosconey:
i have some baldwins i was told are raytheon(no tripple mica)-they really do sound nice-
