Re: Looking for 12au7 for my cary SLP94

66.74.72.231

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,

Bambi B
