Have you tried Kevin at upscale audio? www.upscaleaudio.com? This chap really knows his tubes and recommended a mullard for my SL-1 after I sold it to a friend...I'm sure there are others who know their tubes but Kevin comes to mind.....good luck and happy listening...Bluenose
help me select a single tube to "calm down" a preamp?
I have an Audio Research LS2B. It can get a tad "strident" in the upper mid on some recordings. I am now using a Siemens 7308 / E188cc and this is good, and often great tube for soundstaging and openess, but this tube also is a little noisy, mildly bright at times and is not the last word in bass performance. Would a Mullard suit the bill?.... How about an Amperex?....Your thoughts oh kind tube-0-philes :>)
