Looking good there! I am looking forward to hearing your impressions after a little while with the tubes under load.
I'm certainly enjoying them already, high on my keeper list.... As an early guesstimate they will prolly knock me off my beloved Brimar's lol with thanks @hmscott for suggesting them. Similar sound signature, I guess both British 1960's competing tubes so understandable. Initial impressions, for the higher gain sound floor is very low/quiet which surprised me but the extra push seems to help with bass/bottom end control. To keep it short, I think imaging is very good indeed and mid-range is delightful and meaty. Very organic and inviting with improved dynamics overall, glad I tried them because they may be a new fav.
I wonder, has anyone tried 12BH7A tubes as yet in the TA-20. Just been advised on a nice buy on a matched NOS pair so may try them as well, though I imagine tube protection rails may not fit with taller tubes. Not an issue for my situation, so wondering about giving them a try...price is right though my wallet is empty/tight lol being the time of year it is.
Some of the tunes/playlists I enjoyed in my listening session/s this afternoon, sorry in advance for my eclectic tastes lol... I have been sampling homemade booze as well
