Re: Amperex 7316/GE question

Posted by Bertram L on September 28, 2000 at 07:37:27:
Joe is dead on right.The Amperex 7316 is a superb tube (easily the best 12AU7 I have heard).But they are rare and getting pricey.I have seen them labled as Hewlett Packard and Beckman,also.As a matter of fact, there are 4 on Ebay now that are HP- NOS. I believe Upscale Audio had them for about $60 each.IMO, they are worth it.Smooth,sweet,very quiet,great soundstage,beautifully made,test great,etc.,etc.You owe it to yourself to try this tube! Bert
