And now search this thread and read all about those PCC189`s in REAL test with Aune T1 - no odd harmonic distortion or whatsoever (I have 8 different PCC189`s)! Also I spoke about that heater "poisoning" and variable mu some time ago - no problems with all the PCC189`s I`ve come across so far (except 2 used PCC189`s that are just leaking or burned out, crackly very weak sound, inside tube lot of black mica "dust"). Seriously, read this thread through and you get lots of info about tubes with Aune T1, no need to discover bicycle again! And seriously, if you are from Finland go ahead and buy Ultron PCC189 for sure, it is cheap and very good sounding tube! For me it`s on par with Amperex Orange GAC. If you get your hands on golden label Ultron SQ PCC189`s, then prefer those to white labels but both are very good.
Sorry to everybody about Ultrons and Amperex A-frame orange`s analytical comparing that I promised after burn in. I haven`t had time to do it but will try this weekend. But I think much hasn`t changed in my opinion. I still prefer gold label ultrons over Amperex GAC and A-frame orange. White Ultrons are on par with Amperex GAC.
Btw, I think one Amperex A-frame orange is littlebit different sounding and better than other (older one) but have to confirm it for sure with analytical listening.
it will produce lots of odd harmonic distortion.
