In Reply to: 12AT7 for tube cdplayer posted by gradEHoser on November 1, 2014 at 09:32:01:
They may be just what you're looking for.
The 12AT7 has a mu of 60, whereas an 12AY7 is 45. You'll end up with a slightly lower gain, which shouldn't be of consequence in your CD player output. It's basically just a buffer section anyway.
Better bass, more drive, and soundstaging are exactly what I experienced when interchanging them for 12AT7's in an integrated amp.
The Electro-Harmonix 12AY7's are incredibly good, with their sound right on par with NOS, and are around $20 a pop.
