12AT7 tubes


Hi audiogoners,
I need to replace one tube in my VTL phono stage, it marks 12AT7/ECC81. Is it safe to use tubes brands other than JJ tubes VTL recommends, like mullard or telefunken one.It looks like there are different version of 12AT7 in Mullard.Can someone tell the difference for each version.and your recommendations.Thanks for any information.KB

i am using rca black plate 12at7 with my vtl deluxe 120 amps.

another suggestion is to use tube dampers on the 12at7. i use EAT tube dampers.
