In Reply to: For everyone's info the 12FQ7 is a 12.6v 6CG/FQ7, a far better sounding valve. posted by Timbo in Oz on June 11, 2012 at 15:15:51:
Timbo,
Are you saying the tube can not impact on the sonics due to its archetecture, or that they all sound bad, so what's the point?? I have seen many amps that employ them, why are they used so often?
I have rolled many 12AU7s and found definite changes in the sound of my amp. I ended up using 7136s in place of the 12AU7s in my Jadis DA-60 integrated. I am no EE and not tech savvy, so I don't know what they do in the circuit. The DA-60 requires 3 X 12AU7 and 2 X 12AX7 in the "preamp" section.
