Hi UT,
Looks like you are using two EL12 and two EL12N as power tubes now. Is the sound different than using EL11?

I don't hear it much different. More power as indicated on the volume knob placement.

Non owners makes the most noise and that's you.

True. I just cannot afford anything. But does that mean I cannot question here?

I think that I have 6 EL12N....

Going through several of my 5670s and I had totally forgotten about one that I really enjoy. The GE 5* Triple Mica Square Getter tube is (personally) fantastic and I've always enjoyed them. Think WE 2c51s except not as refined with much more extension on both ends. It has a U shaped sound with a really nice hitting bottom end and more extended treble. I feel that the WE 2c51s does slightly better at busy passages but really it's a great tube. They would pair up well with warmer power tubes like the RCA 6AS7s or even the GE 6BX7s.

Looks like they've gone up in price but this seller is selling them for a very reasonable price:

Those GE 5670's are great. Good value as well.

I shuffled through my collection and found one of these 5* GEs with three mica spacers and a rectangular getter. Mine was manufactured in 1957, week 32. The next month or so promises to be a very busy time for me but will try to check it out soon. Thanks!

It depends on who you ask.... Typically folks from Taiwan say no. But folks from China say yes.....

Listening to the Auteur with all Brimar amplification sounds sweet Brimar 13D1>two Brimar 6080 outputs with Mulard GZ37
Best sound yet!!!!!!!!!!!!
My good camera died pic from cheap cam.

Is it my impression or the amp looks smaller Glenn? Btw what are those blue caps? I see others have them black

 

[Hansotek]

Nice! I’ve been rocking this roll lately with Auteur and Atticus:

Rectifier: Cossor 45iu
Driver: Mullard ECC31
Power: 4x RCA 6BX7



It’s a rare combo that is super warm and punchy across the board, but doesn’t sacrifice stage size or airy extension up top. Actually makes Atticus sound more open than a lot of open headphones!

Different brand Nippon chemi con good caps some come in black some blue.
I am very picky of the capacitors I use only use Nippon and BHC for filters and all Sprague Atom under the hood.
Not smaller less tube sockets.

This amp kicks ass with all Brimar
Next is my amp with GEC 6J5s and Brimar 6080s.
Will see don't know how anything can sound better with the Auteur than this.
Now can't wait until i get the Aeolus !!!!!
