Unsurprisingly, the GEC b36 paired with the Cossor 807 sounds exquisite. If I wanted to be super critical I could say they are a touch warm but that’s either good or bad depending on what you’re after. Everything is just so locked in, bass, highs, depth and width. Amazing.
I do want to do some more critical comparisons with the Fivre 12sn7 and the grey glass 14n7 as well. All of them are on the warm side. Oh, I should also compare with the bl63 too. Wonder if I could be happy with any of them or if this tube has spoiled me. I understand why the b65 has the reputation it does and almost understand the prices they command I have two b36 tubes but alas they are completely different years and look completely different. My current amp only uses one input tube but my next one will need two. Will I spend the dough to get a pair? Hmm….
