Have you tried the CBS hytron 5814?

Apparently you are getting back non gold pin 7730, sorry for the mixup bro.

 

[Guidostrunk]

O getter or D getter? O was supposed to go to Slim.

No biggie bro. Appreciate you testing them for me.

That's up next. However, I went with the Sylvania first because it is better all around. The Sylvania has harder hitting tighter bass and is more transparent. The CBS is like a warmer slightly less transparent version of the Sylvania, from all my findings using them in my BHC. From all I have read, I imagine the Sylvania 5814a triple mica grey plate square getter and 7730 are going to be neck and neck, but we shall see real soon.

I am pumped to hear them, and compare them to my Sylvania 5814!

I have 3 different pairs of Sylvania. Haven't found the ones that you recommend yet but after reading tubemaze and audio asylum I managed to score a pair of 53 long plate tilted D getter 5814. Haven't had a listen yet trying to finish up my yard work. Lol

Those guys seemed to prefer the long plate D getter over the triple mica but as you know. It's all subjective lol.

The other 2 pair were ok. Transparent and whatnot, but sleepy sounding. No dynamics. The one pair is strange in construction. It has a 3rd mica but it's attached to the getter instead of the frame. Never seen anything like it.

Nice! Tubemaze is where I learned about the one I have.

As far as sleepy sounding and that is how I would describe the CBS/Hytron 5814 compared to the Sylvania 5814 I have.

For those of you deciding on 12AU7 adapters, @Wes S has the Tube Monger version. They are just a hair above the chassis top to allow for easy rolling as well as a nice clean look and cool operation. I have had '0' microphonic issues with countless tubes rolled using the TM adapters. No affiliation but I am a BIG fan!

 

[Guidostrunk]

Same adapters here. They're worth the cash for sure.

 

[nwavesailor]

Yup, the TM stuff is a bit more $$$ but IMO worth it!
