My favorite new driver tube for an RH84 amplifier. Slightly less gain than a standard 12AT7. Heater current is 50% more than a standard 12AT7, so watch out for that. VERY detailed sound from top-to-bottom. GE black plate 6829s are supposed to be better, but are more expensive and difficult to locate? I got my GE (branded United Electron) gray plate 6829s on flea-bay NIB/NOS for under $11/delivered. Steve |
