I just built a L3 and wondered if it was worth it to track down and NOS 6BM8 or there's no real difference?

  I also noticed a difference going to a 60's vintage Mullard in my DAC 2.1c Not as large a difference though as when I changed the 5687's to Tungsols supplied by Andy.

  I am using a early 60's NOS Mullard ECL82 (same as a 6MB8) regulator tube in the M2 Power supply of my Level B Signature Dac is , Yes, I hear a smoother , more musical sound.

      Hi,
      
      I am lucky as i found a woman in England who has a supply. I am told by the guy at Vintage Tube Services taht for the application we are usinbg it for,. go with Telefunken, Siemens, Mullard, Amperex, and Tung Sol.
      
      I hope that helps?
