Mullard 6201 one of the best ever

4.47.29.10

but it all comes down to system synergy. The Mullard 6201 or CV4024 is the #1 choice of Atma-Sphere owners (where you can hear a real difference and as a "lot" are pretty educated folks) as well as the Sonic Frontiers. They make more people happy in more situations than any other 12AT7 type.

As to the Sylvania Gold Brand 6201 being much better, I have both in stock, and have sold both to a number of people, and the most common consensus is the Sylvania has a little more "pop" in the bottom.

My opinion of the Tele ECC801S is that though they are expensive, due to being rarer, that does not guarantee happiness. I try to explain that to people that want them just because we charge more. I got 'em...lots.

The worst 12AT7 ever made is the late 1950's / early 1960's Mullard and Amperex. How these got any reputation at all is beyond me. They test horrid, and if they are not noisy now, they will be. It is a frustrating tube.
