In Reply to: RE: Brimar v. Mullard EZ81 - how to tell? posted by Sondek on July 28, 2024 at 09:53:03
Thanks for the follow up and appreciate the info and response.
I definitely bought it to use it. I tried the RFT previously and was not a fan - thought it sounded a bit thin and wasn't a fan of the treble (in an Ypsilon PST-100 MKII).
The Genalex / GEC u709s have unfortunately become unobtanium - I have seen a a few going for over $600 a tube now, if you can even find them. Some guy on usaudiomart was selling a couple for $250 back in April ($150 without box) and they were snapped up really quickly.
Follow Ups:
I agree with Sondek - that tube looks like a Brimar to me as well. You might want to try it (unless you intend to return it) since Brimar stuff can be darn good. Maybe you would prefer the Brimar to a Mullard?
I was surprised to hear you didn't like the RFT tube. I was fortunate to get hold of a couple hundred of them a few years ago and with about half of then now in customer's hands I have yet to hear anything other than positive comments about them. It seems that your system/your ears perceive things differently, so if I were you I'd try the Brimar. It might suit you very well.
Also, the tube in the pic sports the American designation 6CA4 in addition to the Euro EZ81. You probably know that Brimar stands for BRItish Made American Radio (BRIMAR). So, the inclusion of the American type number is another possible indicator that it's a Brimar.
