Best versions of brimar and best place to buy them ?

Depending on what tube variants you are looking for,

If you are looking for 6922 variants of Brimars then that would be:
1. Brimar KB/AD CV2492 E88CC
2. Brimar E88CC Gold Pin UK Valve Tubes

Would probably have to find them on eBay.

If you are looking for other variants of Brimars such as 12AU7 or 12AT7 let me know and I’ll give you recommendations on those.

Can it be a USA seller that ships to Canada? Can probably get a pair cheaper that way.

I mean it probably would be fine if someone was willing to ship to Canada.

I really need to stop recommending tubes, all the stock is drying up on everything I recommend.
I wholeheartedly recommend buying GE variants from now on as the quote possibly be better than anything I ever heard.




Or not.

Another vote for G.E. tubes. It really seems, as if the secret is out.

Excellent seller, an offer of $99 usd would probably be accepted. Ships world wide.

Of course for the LP was looking for specific stores/sellers dates and codes if needed.

Great seller - bought from them and was very happy with the tubes and customer service!

Anyone have experience with ebay seller, wwxfs2009123?

They are based in China, but have some of the 6dj8s I'm hunting for at a good price.

Me too! Great customer service and tubes, from that seller.

I have had better luck with USA sellers mostly except for a couple sellers. Most of my returns have been awful testing ECC82 that exhibit noise with low Gm tubes. The LP is a good indicator of noise possibly due to high gain on the amplifier you do not have a tester.

Hey I got a few sets of tubes I'm trying to make sure are safe in my LP.

• 6bz7/6BQ7A Canada (Stock Mjolnir 2 tubes)
• GE396A w/ adapter for ECC88

I read the heather current is a bit high on the 396A, but I can't find any info on the 6bz7.

What are the main factors to compare besides pin layout and heater current?

I just got the LP and like it very much. I'm looking for a pair of 6922 tubes that imparts a "classic tube sound" to the amp, with rolled off/subdued highs and warm sound, reasonably priced, and not difficult to find.

I appreciate any recommendations.

If your up to using 1 pair of socket savers and a pair of 5670/2C51 adapters late 40's to early 50's. WE 396A Western Electric fits the bill for warmth and not tuned towards the high end.

+1 agree, I love them in the LP. only caution i have is the WE396A aren't the easiest to find quiet for headphone amp use, i bought a few pairs....

Mullard E88CC/CV2492 fits the bill, if you can find some.

Here is a link to a pair that sold, so you can know what to look for.
