Got my very cheap 7316 from this seller, strong and only slightly microphonic in my MJ2. Excellent seller.

Does "not necessarily negative thoughts" count? Honestly, have no idea. 1953? It's possible they were still using a KenRad design and hadn't costed it to death yet. Too expensive to risk it for me though.@bcowen any positive thoughts on this gem?

I've had good experience with www.watfordvalves.com in the past but haven't ordered from there in a while.
From memory you get good assistance even if their replies aren't particularly 'wordy'.
A solid alternative to Langrex.

[Short digression…] Also does one hell of a job in the Valhalla II with Novosibirsk 6N6Ps…~ Brief update on Tungsram E88CC in Ksorolnir II: Very nice overall; even tonal balance; great dimensionality and body/heft; bass is sinewy; midrange is sculpted; treble is “open-aire”; exciting dynamic range; sounds more like a ECC81.

Avatar shows results of a couple of months of comparing my longtime #1's, the Telefunken ECC801S's, and the Brimar Footscary CV455's. The CV455's just deliver more music per square inch than the Teles. There is a certain sweetness to the Teles tone/timbre on my rig that the CV455's can't duplicate but at the end of the day the CV455's just are more impactful and engaging to me. I feel like I'm in with the musicians with the 455's instead of listening from the front row with the Telefunkens. Really close contest but I am now finally convinced the CV455's rule. Waiting on the RFT ECC81's though...

Do you guys leave your MJ2 vol pot at a desired level when you switch it off, so it's ready for the next session?

Guilty as charged. Pretty sure my loyalty to the Teles was getting in the way. Will always have a special place in my heart for the Telefunkens butFlip flopper with all due respect.
don't think I'll be flopping back on the 455's being the better tube. Spent a lot of time with both and the longer I listened the more obvious the answer became.

I never turn mine off lol. The warm up time to get to optimal running temp +/-108°(heat gun temp on top logo) just takes way too long. Roughly 2+ hours.Do you guys leave your MJ2 vol pot at a desired level when you switch it off, so it's ready for the next session?
