Hey all, need some help. So I won the CV2492's that @Wes S posted above a few days ago. Then I just received this message from the seller below...Here are some Brimar CV2492. The seller has them listed as Mullard, but I can assure you they are Brimar. I have bought 2 pairs, from this seller already, and did not bother telling him, they are really Brimar.
ZJ is the date code, mine have the same code 1968. The other 2 letter codes are just different date codes. Make sure they have AD after KB. That is Brimar Rochester factory code. Will show KB/AD. Get the best testing of the bunch along with low noise and microphonics.Hey all, need some help. So I won the CV2492's that @Wes S posted above a few days ago.

"As I started packing all eBay valves to be shipped, I noticed that the two valves you won coded ZJ have been sold previously in fact I sold other pairs of quad of E88CC on eBay the last weeks and have mixed up some of them in the listing, however it's not the end of the world since I have 9 more pieces E88CC I show you here, please feel free to tell me which one you like. The first 3 pcs from the left have codes WE WE WE; next 3pcs coded ZH ZH ZH; last 3pcs ZG YD YH. So sorry about that."
I've attached the pictures below and they do still look like the Brimar's but not sure what the additional lettering refers to. Does it matter? Anyone have any insight into what I should go with here? Thanks!
Ahh. Thanks. They do all have the KB/AD label, so no worries there. I'll request the best testing of them. Thanks so much.ZJ is the date code, mine have the same code 1968.

Ya, looks like the date codes would beThe other 2 letter codes are just different date codes.
Earlier years the better imo.
I went with the WE's. And he said they tested great. Very excited!I agree earlier is better!

Hopefully they are not noisy, with the high gain on the LP and the higher multiplication factor on that series of tubes, 396A, 2C51 some will be noisy.I went with the WE's. And he said they tested great. Very excited!
No the heater current is way too high for the LP. 6922 variants, ECC82 variants, 2C51 variants will work. 2nd and 3rd options with an adapter.Hey Y'all. I just bought a LP and am excited! Is it possible to use a 12au7 to 7N7 adapter to run Sylvania 7n7s with this?
What's your budget? Open to tubes that require an adapter?What's the best bang for you buck option? I like bass and details, if possible.
