Amperex ECC82

Just a suggestion. If you haven't sprung for the Amperex ECC82 (Bugle Boys or whatever)--- and you are willing to spend for good NOS tubes, I suggest looking at the Philips Miniwatt ECC186 (aka 7316).

My experience is the ECC186 has a richer tone than the Amperex ECC82. As stated before the French Mazda or Radiotechnique ECC82 also have a nice "Euro" tone, if that is what you are after.

Amperex (esp Bugle Boys) are good tubes. But, like the clear top RCA 12AU7... a bit over-rated.

Just my 2ยข worth.
