12AT7 tube

I have a Lector T3 and have some '66 Valvo branded Mullard E81CC. I have been told by my tube dealer that it sounds very close to the Tele 801s and he has steared me away form buying the Tele.

So far this tube has crushed the RCA BP. The RCA seemed like it shut out the top end. I want to hear the top to bottom with out giving up one for the other.

Are there any other 12at7 tubes worth looking into? Gec A2900?

Try Andy at 'Vintage tubes' if you are dead set on getting some Telefunkens... he'll get you the real deals. Guarnateed.

the Valvo mentioned above interests me as I have both RCA 12AT7 & 12AX, as well as the Amperex same same. I run RCA AT and Bugle Boy AX. in my preamp. that combo is smooth and punchy with fine extension and excellent detail.

I've heard as well the Sulvania are good too.
