I guess I'll throw in another 12at7,which I liked better in my sytem than the mentioned tubes by Albert. I tried the Mullards and both the Telefunkens ( ecc81 and 801s ) and prefered the Amperex 12at7 Bugle boy ( holland or france ).I found that the Bugle Boys are better balanced all around.Of course this is in my system.. Good luck
12AT7 tubes
Hi audiogoners,
I need to replace one tube in my VTL phono stage, it marks 12AT7/ECC81. Is it safe to use tubes brands other than JJ tubes VTL recommends, like mullard or telefunken one.It looks like there are different version of 12AT7 in Mullard.Can someone tell the difference for each version.and your recommendations.Thanks for any information.KB
