Next up and on deck are one of Tubemonger's amazing creations with some "Flying Leads" tubes, the Brimar CV4034.

But the real fun is getting those suckers out!I know others have already talked these babies up, but I just wanted to give a shout out for the Tubemonger 12au7 to 6922 adapter! This adapter seems to have been made for the LP, as in the perfect size and height, and makes tube rolling an absolute breeze. I am having a blast using my 12au7/5814's, and the ease of removing the tubes really adds to the positive experience. Bravo to Tubemonger!
LOL! I bet they are a serious PITA and I was aware of that going into it and was prepared to have to possibly break them to remove them. However, thankfully I am loving the 12au7's so much, that I have no plans to remove them. 12au7's and their variants (5814, 7316, & 7730) are all that will be going into this amp, from now on.But the real fun is getting those suckers out!

I’m jumping in as well. Ordered some custom (taller) adapters from @Deyan which should arrive in another week or so.That's what the TM SS's are for . @Wes S What are you going to do with your 6DJ8 / 6922 / 7308 stash? I'm sure you have quite the collection.... @Wes S recommended some Sylvania 5814's which I grabbed along w/ the TM adapters; this will by my jump into the 12AU7 pond. Looking forward to comparing them to '63 Sylvania D-getter 6922s. Hopefully modded LP coming from @ksorota sometime next week so I can test vs stock...fun times ahead!
This hobby has kept me sane amidst all the CV madness. Happy listening all
We should of kept our mouths shut on the ECC82, everything will be much harder to come by.First there was Corona and now Wes S and LCMusicLover are jumping into the deep end where the 12AU7 swim!
Watch out here I come! Just kidding, as I pretty much already have as good as you can get when it comes 12au7's so I won't be in the hunt. There is one more tube that I am so anxious to try, I am loosing my mind. However, it should not be much longer until I get to hear it. Also, I think I might already have the "one" in my amp at the moment, but will shall see. More to come on how these 2 super tubes compare, and what they are. . .We should of kept our mouths shut on the ECC82, everything will be much harder to come by.
Would this 'mystery' tube be from Germany staring with a V and the #6--- ? (actually these would NOT work in the TP)There is one more tube that I am so anxious to try, I am loosing my mind.

Not really a mystery, as it's already been talked about in this thread, but it was made in the good old USA. The tube I am so excited to try is the 7730, and it should not be much longer. Now, the tube I think is going to give the 7730 a run for it's money is still a secret, as I first need to find a backup pair (they are that good!), before I let the cat out of the bag.Would this 'mystery' tube be from Germany staring with a V and the #6--- ?
That is what my crystal "What tubes could Wes possibly be hunting for now?" ball!
