Another tube porn. Mullard Ecc35 arrived

Terima kasih Pak Stavros

Nice and clean sounding tube!

You should try this UT

Jek, I had no idea you're Malaysian and I had no idea that ECC35 can be used in Ulysses. Stravos only told me about ECC33.

Now my 64 dollars question is - how does it sound in comparison to a good 6SN7 ?

Arnold, have you tried just two 6BX7 with your HD800 ?

Two tubes seem to be plenty of power for my HD800.

Joe, we want the full force of the Sith lords when Beethoven 5th symphony comes on - not the da da da daaaa of R2d2. We want to shake the cones of HD800.

UT,

I'm Indonesian.
Stavros gave me a shocked when he replied my email in Indonesian as well.

You can also use 6SL7 as well in you GOTL.

I prefer the ECC35 over 6SN7 because it sounds more natural and liquid

I see !!! I was once your neighbour. I was from Singapore many, many light years ago.... Sir Stamford Raffles and I were buddies.

Stravos is gifted if he knows Indonesian. I've a new found admiration for him now.

I think Glenn told me that 6SL7 has too much gain for the amp I'm getting.

Now to check the price of ECC35... just when I'm about to buy an 'audiophile' CD player....

Sometimes AU customs is a pain in the butt.
Tony Newman got a number that I put on the box that got it through customs easier.
Maybe he prepaid a fee or something.

New Zealand in my case, not Australia. NZ has a 'Client Code' system for imports over 1K NZD that smooths the wheels of bureaucracy. Doesn't apply to Oz, unfortunately.

Nice tube Ken. You are using the 76 adapter?

Yes, but you will need to add an external heater power supply as well.

Agreed. Also has more gain I believe. I prefer all the ECCxx (ECC31 - ECC35) tubes over most 6SN7's. Got a whole bunch from a guy in Europe a while back NOS/NIB never been used. I prefer used ones to use/play. Can't bring myself to open/use the NOS/NIB ones.

Oh dearie me, now I have to get ECC33 and ECC35. I thought I had bought every tube under the sun.

@gibosi are these 6BL7? That's what the ad says. If it is, I'll buy it to try.

[gibosi]

Electrically, I believe that this is closer to a 5687, with a 0.9A heater, than a 6BL7, with a 1.5Am heater. However, even though it is not as powerful as a 6BL7, it has the same pin-out, and it should work. But I have no idea how it might sound.

I think I will pass on those 6N12S. Seems more like 6SN7 than 6BL7. I'll look for more 6BX7. I mean I am getting a custom made amp for 6 x 6BL7 right? So I need more 6BL7 / 6BX7 tubes than @attmci .
