VTL 75 75 deluxe amp...... Input/Driver tubes????


I purchased a VTL 75/75 Deluxe power amp serial number 7575022 and it came with 4 12at7 input/driver tubes. (output tubes 6550Cs). Some have suggested 4 12bh7s others have said 2 12at7s as input tubes and 2 12bh7s as driver tubes....others have said 6414 driver tubes. HELP!!! does any one have a copy of the manual. VTL has not answered emails. Thanks Larry Unruh

12BH7 may work in that circuit, it is designed with similar parameters as 12AU7 and 12AT7. I used 12BH7 in my Air Tight ATM3's and got a huge upgrade.

If you want to play it safe, score some Telefunken 12AT7 off EBAY, plug, play and be prepared for a huge sonic improvement with no risk or downside.
