TK16, you can trash those crap '58 longplate Mullards when they arrive.

I will soon have the 'Goggle' approved 1957's!

Nothing wrong with some ambient noise.

Absolutely. Adds air and ambience just like plopping an LP on the turntable. People like me don't love listening to old records only because they're a PITA.

Made an offer of $800 based on TK's glowing recommendation of the seller. Fingers-crossed!!

I just offered $800.01. Sorry.

I'm out! Too rich for my blood.

Woo Hoo! I've got another 57' Blackburn, getting delivered today! Now I am all set, with Mullard, and time to find a backup Brimar Square Getter. I am digging these ECC82 tubes!

Wait....do you have backups for the backup?

 

[Wes S]

Wait....do you have backups for the backup?

Ha. ha. I used to try and do that, but I am trying to control my urges, and just have 1 backup. We will see, how long that last!

You got a pair for the LP, sounds heavenly in this amp.

Having never owned ANY French tubes, the Radiotechnique and Cifte (and Mazda?)12AU7 do interest me for some odd tube collecting reason. Upscale has them NOS / NIB tested for a few $$$ less than these, however.

Radiotechnique was part of the Philips company so they may well sound like their Dutch made counterparts. I guess there is only one way to know $$$.

Anyone here have experience with French 12AU7 tubes?

I can spray paint my Telefunken ECC82 pair for a few bucks less than those Telefunken's if anyone is interested?

 

[nwavesailor]

Ah grasshopper, flat black paint and a silver marking pen and you have a new market for garden variety Tele's.

Look for these soon at Bangy Bang BUT,with gold pins!!!
