These are all preamp tubes, correct? I have only tried dual triode 12au7 types. Can you advise what adapter is needed to try these tubes you've mentioned?
Thank you- this is great information, indeed.Yup. These are preamp tubes.
As you can see in the pictures, I'm now using a pair of Tung-Sol 6j5g with two adapters, one from 6j5g(t)/l63 to 6sn7 and the other from 6sn7 to 12au7.
I'll send you some adapter links below.
The tube combination I used yesterday (GEC 6080 and a pair of Tung-Sol 6j5g) is a beautiful example of a combination that makes the Veritè extremely musical for any genre. It brings a lot of warmth and emotion without losing stage and detail.
Very well resolved in the mid and high range.
And detail: For those who think that Veritè has recessed vocals, in this combination, the vocals are prominent without losing the details of the top and the warmth of the base.

Thank you- this is great information, indeed.
I think the dual driver/preamp set up looks like quite the investment, as first glance states these tubes are pricey! Do you have a favorite set up for the preamp section of the BHC?
I was thinking that if I venture away from the 12au7, it would be towards the 6sn7 with an adapter- unless of course people really feel there is a superiority to the dual preamp tube set up.
Thank you! Quick question (and I also asked in the BHC thread as well), when using the adapter to go from 12au7 to the 8-pin 6c5g, 6sn7, etc., I believe the voltage of that tube socket needs to be 6.3 volts. This is the case on the Bottlehead Crack, correct?I haven't tested all the tube combinations I have with Veritè yet, but so far my favorite setup is the GEC 6080 + Fivre 6c5g.

I just bought this adapter:

And the seller is asking me to make sure I'm operating the driver/preamp tube at 6.3 volts.
Quick note on the CV4003- I have a pair of Brimar CV4003s and they are very good.Ju

Aren't cv4033 equivalent of ecc81?Of note though, I found the Brimar CV4033s to have even better vocals/midrange (at least in a Woo WA2). If you happen to come across a pair for under $150 or so in good condition, I highly recommend them.
VO thread. But its always related with tube rolling isnt it ?Is this a tube rolling thread or a VO thread![]()
For whatever reason, EQ seems to be a polarizing subject and a two-letter word that can never be spoken by some. That feature which shall not be named. I happen to appreciate it and enjoy it.
