nuklp,I've not had the good fortune to own the long plate Amperex BB ECC82, but by reputation they are supposed to be very refined and a bit smoother than the short plate. If so, they must be great as the ordinary BB is wonderful. You might try a search on this site concerning the long-plate version- it's been discussed from time to time here.
I think if the long plate version comes along at a reasonable price it should be very nice! Still, in the upper end of Amperex, the older 7316 seems worth stretching a little for.
The problem with the tube world is that ignorance is bliss. If we didn't hear- or hear about- the great models of NOS tubes- Telefunken ECC803S, Mullard 10M, Amperex pinched waist 6922, GEC KT66, Siemens CCA, Valvo Blue 6201, and etc. and didn't know what we were missing- there would be great cost savings!
Cheers,
