Members Cliff Fiscal Posted February 28, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 28, 2007 Mullards are great, Amperex Bugle Boys are awesome. If you can get an Ei that works, it sounds great. (Let's hope that since they've been bought out by Western Electric that we'll see some good stuff from them.) Most new stuff just lacks some of the "3D"-ness that a Mullard has. FWIW, I used to be a JJ devotee 3-4 years ago until I started trying out NOS tubes. Who has that kind of money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Weathered Posted February 28, 2007 Members Share Posted February 28, 2007 Who has that kind of money? I hav spent less on tubes since I've gotten NOS stuff than I did when I bought new EH12AX7's every 6 months. Less experimentation and gear flipping = more money in the end.

Members Weathered Posted February 28, 2007 Members Share Posted February 28, 2007 The thing about those is they are better built than newer tubes for the most part, and will last much longer. I've actually started cruising vintage audio shops looking for old turntables/radios that had 12AX7's in them. I know a guy who got a dozen Telefunken ECC83's for $10 about a year back.
