There are (3) 12AT7/ECC81 and (1) 12BH7/ECC99 tube per channel
I just upgraded to the Tele ECC 801S tubes in mine. There are 6 of these!

    Good Saturday morning Bruce and thank you so much. I believe you mentioned having Doshi pre amps before but I missed it or just plain forgot. You are indeed blessed sir. I am hoping to have a tube tape head pre amp in my system soon. I look forward to getting it in-house by the end of next month. It will mate well with my Tascam 42B reel to reel tape deck.

      I am using the dHavilland 222 ($2295)for playback with a Metrotec/Scully 500 and a TEAC 7030SL. I am very pleased with their equalization capabilities and universally great sound. I also have a Scully 280B for comparison. All three are really great with the Kara Chaffee designs. The physical execution is beautiful. I strongly recommend you give one a try.

        Good Saturday morning Binkt,
        Thank you for taking the time to respond and it's great to know that you are satisfied with the deHavilland tube tape head pre amp. Have you found it difficult to find parts for the Scully and how did you come by finding Scully stuff?

        I have a Studer A810 mated to a Dehavilland 222 tubed tape pre, and a Otari MX5050 BII mated to a Bottlehead tubed Repro. Both sound really good to me, you just have to get the right tubes in them...

        What kind of tube-rolling have you done with the deHavilland? I was going to say that mine still has the stock tubes, but in fact I bought it sans tubes because I had the right types lying around :-)
        
        I'm using Telefunken 12AX7s, not sure about the others. Thanks for any suggestions. I love that tape pre.
