That’s exactly why I traded in my Reference 5’s.
My Ref 3’s: hyper-analytic, modern presentation.
Additional Preamp Tubes
I am looking to purchase an additional matched pair of NOS tubes for my PS Audio BHK preamp. I currently own Brimar CV4003, Telefunken Medicals & Siemens Nickel Plate.
When I began building my system 3.5 years ago, I wanted revealing - accurate. Now I want a tube that is more musical / warm, similar to the Brimar’s with a touch more warmth.
My system: Aurender N150 > Briscati M3 > BHK > Moon 760A > KEF Reference 3’s. Rega P8 / Hana ML > Gold Note PH 10 on analog. Cables are Kimber Select from sources & Transparent Ultra’s pre > amp > speakers.
ChatGPT recommended Mullard CV4003. There is a pair on eBay from Valve Tubes. Please let me know your thoughts on this and other potential tubes, and if you have any experience with Valve tubes. Thanks!

@curiousjim Too much money… too much weight. System in upstairs bonus room, I can’t even imagine getting your Ref 5’s or G5’s up my stairs. Bribed 2 young neighbors with Macallan just to get the Ref 3’s up the stairs. 😏 |
