A 12av7 has less gain than a 12at7,so I would not do that. Why don't you try GE tubes,I have both GE and Sylvania and I like the GE better.
I'm a tube novice: Tube substitution?
Yo guys- I need advice from you tube heads out there please :)
My Exemplar 2900 CD Player currently employs a pair of Mullard SQ 282 E180CC/7062 tubes, which I dearly love. Having perused these pages daily however, I know these particular tubes are quite rare and not easily found.
I know I can substitute 12AV7's without issue, but what about others? I realize that every tube family has varying degrees of desired quality, but my confusion concerns what actual tube numbers are physically compatible with the player.
For instance,I came across a sweet looking pair of E182CC Siemens- brand new- that I'm curious about...would they be adequate substitutes?
Any advice you guys can share would be invaluable!
Thanks,
Dan
