845 recommendations from actual experience


'
What 845s do you recommend, and why?

Sound quality, durabilty, price are the obvious considerations. But I'd like to settle on THE one to use with my VIVA Auroras.

Currently still using Sino 845s which is what Amedeo Schembri (designer of the amp) used to recommend.

I used the Shuangung 845b with my Viva Solista. I have to say, I could'nt hear a great deal of difference between them and the basic valves that it came with.

As Casouza says, the plate voltage is very high with Viva's use of the valve. Some 845's are'nt appropriate.

If you look on Audioasylum under product reviews, one of the respondents was doing very careful reviews of the various 845 options.
