Is it possible to individually bias each tube?{2/4} The Mullards are great in the mid-bass to lower treble,they are not as quick and extended as a Siemens or Telefunken. The mullard CV-40004 has quicker/better top-end then a stndard ,those are the military version 12AX7. Every tube will have its'own character,you may get the best reults using a single brand in the phono and a different brand in the line portion. Possibly one for phono and another for line-level inputs. Happy hunting and good luck. Tom
Cheap Crack
Hey all. I've been getting the itch recently to get a new DAC. But I found a cheaper way to get my thrills! NOS tubes! I am totally new to the tube planet, so I think this will be more fun than dropping 3K on a DAC that will be worth a quarter of that in a year... From the research I've done, the best thing I can do right now is get some Mullard CV4004 12AX7's. I have the Rogue Magnum Tempest Integrated Amp and am loving it! It's presently outfitted with all Electro-Harmonix 4 X KT88 4 X 12AU7 2 X 12AX7.
After changing out those 2 EH's for those 12AX7 Mullards, what kind of sound will I be getting? Is it possible to swap 2 of the 4 12AU7's for some Mullards?
All the best,
Eric
