The 12AU7s are for a completely different preamp - I used 6DJ8s/6922s for many years in other preamps messing with all the usual suspects from Bugle Boys to Mullards to Telefunkens. This preamp uses 12AU7s and eats the 6DJ8/6922 preamps for lunch - it isn't even CLOSE. I'm using Mullard 12AU7s (well, a military equivalent anyway) in it now but hate spending $160 for 4 tubes. The experiments will try to determine if there's any treatment (cryo) or tweaks to the preamp circuit that can be done to get near-Mullard sound from ~$10 tubes. I've used up 1 set of Electro-Harmonix tubes in this preamp. They were surprisingly OK, but I want to get more-than-OK sound out of them. Figure if I start with a better ~$10 tube, the end result will be better.
