Re: The Bugle Boy 6DJ8 is over-rated if you believe it is

Bambi,

What a superb response! I'm a rank novice at this but there is a subtlety and concentration required in tube, er, colouring that makes it akin to painting. I've tried 3 or 4 brands/types of 12AU7 variants in my preamp and they are all different, and nearly all (fortunately) enjoyable. I love the idea of having several-preamps-in-one simply in virtue of the tubes I plug in -- though I gotta say, having just inserted a pair of 1960 Holland Bugle Boys into the preamp and being gobsmacked by their combo of warmth, texturing and detail; yeah. in my system, they ARE all that!

best,


s
