Mullard CV4004


Hi,
I'm thinking upgrade de stock 12AX7 of my Primaluna Two for two Mullards CV4004. I would like to know opinions about these tubes.

Regards,

I purchased some CV4004s and found the same results as Zinfan2. However, just recently purchased a matched quad of Mullard ECC83 tubes from 1959 and these sound fantastic. Sometimes it all depends on who you buy them from. The vendor in CA I bought mine from and the most likely vendor you purchased your Prima Luna from sold me the set of Mullards I did not like (very microphonic and he wouldn't take them back). The Mullards are hard tubes to come by in excellent matched condition. More reasonable are the RCA 12AX7s from the '50s. Andy at VTS carries a good stock of them and can match them nicely to your amp.

If interested email me as I have some '62 Telefunkens that could be available.
