NOS Matched PAIR BRIMAR 12AU7 ECC82 Tubes - Purchased from Upscale Audio.
I sold my Primalunar Amplifier and I no longer need them.
Paid 280 Selling at half the cost.
The Tube Gods have BLESSED US!!! There won't be many reviews of this tube because I have not had them FOREVER, and just found a small stash. But you gotta listen - those in the know will tell you Brimar and their sister companies like Ediswan made BAD ASS stuff!
OK kiddies….I had some of these years ago, and we blew through them really fast. This is the classic Brimar 12AU7 made in England in the 60’s . If you want to know how these sound, they are like the Ediswan CV2492/6922: Incredibly pleasant, wonderful, pleasing mids with zero harshness. When I listen to these, it reminds me of a girl I knew once that would touch the back of my neck. They are that nice. I have to say something here. I’ve seen a flying lead version being sold with an adaptor on the bottom. It’s the exact same tube. But uses an adaptor soldered on to the bottom. I had some offered to me but passed. Soldering those leads isn’t exactly the cleanest way to do things. Why would you want an adaptor on the tube leads? That’s fine to use later after these dissapear from the market, but not now while you can get the real deal.
Each tube is graded carefully on both an Amplitrex AT-1000 and a Triplett 3444a. After that we grade for noise and microphony by ear with headphones in a single-tube moving coil phono stage circuit where the tube is really under a microscope and listed to with headphones.
