I have a pair of noval Tungsram ecc40 Rimlock tubes with 6SN7 adapters and they do sound quite nice, as I recall. May be time to roll them back into Lyr 3 or Incubus.
Agree on the ECC40's. I first bought a pair of Philips Miniwatt (Dario). Total bleah. Then got the Tungsrams which are in a completely different league. Haven't given them a whirl in the Incubus though. And total bummer on my Tungsram ECC82's...they are all the short riveted gray plates. Stupid stash.
For those looking for the ultimate version of the Tungsram ECC82 Black Welded Plate Disk Getter, here are some pics of a true "OG" from 56'.
Notice the logo is not yellow print, but actually acid etched and then there is also red printed numbers going down the side of the tube indicating a special selection military grade. The early one's like this also have what looks like a "coin base". So for reference, here is an example of a first version and the best of the best or what I like to call the "OG".
You can see the Black Plate, Disc Getter and Metal Tab in the pic below, which are helpful indicators it's the right tube.
I have a pair of tungsram 6922 tubes. They are awesome for EDM. It was a specific recommendation that Dan Clark gave me. I used them in my first Gumby and MJ2 rig back in the day and they were awesome.
If I didn't like the Footscrays so much, I'd be splitting my time between my tungsram 6922s and my Amperex ECC88 tubes.
The Amperex ECC88s are warmer than the Footscrays and have a gorgeous musicality that just gets my feet tapping. These were my favourite tubes before I got the Footscrays.
That's how I remember Amperex ECC88 Orange globe Heerlen late 60s
back the time in Schiit LYR. Preferred halo getter over dimple getter.
D getters Bugle Boys are even better, they have the "taste" of the best Amperex E88CC.
Just got my 59 O getter single and my 59 D getter I've had. Haven't listened the 7316 in couple months, fantastic sounding. Highly recommended.
Edit: I hereby do not authorize any new holy grails unless I own them. Thank you.
50 hours. According to my extensive research, all CV455s need 50 and as such are labeled 455 denoting 45+5 which equals 50. VT-231s only need 24 hours.
