I like both, so I use both within my system, the combo sound's great, tube's on source, and solid state amp direct!, getting ready to roll tube's very soon, mullard 12ax7 10M nos, Mullard 12au7 10M nos, and of course changing the 6z4 recetifier to Mullard nos, might need an adapter for that, the fricken tube socket on my player goes to differnt part's of the tube, wich I got sidewinded by the chinesse on that, no fear!, I will getter done!, Nos on everything! |
Rleff, I like your sence of humor, got a good laugh. |
The gentleman that is useing the Gold Lion 12AX7's, better never try the Mullard 12AX7 10M NOS tube, this is musical bliss. |
Jmcgrogan2, what is your like's for the 12au7 and 12ax7 tube's? |
I see, I need to look into this, amazon did not reveal the actual dealer you bought from? |
Electroslacker, I do not know if you would want to buy the Mullard 10 military 12ax7 nos tube, it's rare and known as the very best money can buy, the going rate is $500.00!, and the 12au7 10m nos I believe is around $250.00!, very musical,warm, incredible resolution, great bass,said to last 10,000 hrs |

Electroslacker, tell me more about the Gold lion reissue's, that could be a cheaper alternative for me to want to listen to, and keep for good back up tube's, the mullard 10m tube's are very exspensive and hard to find, although that is what I have plan's to use in my cd-player. |
you are correct John, their is no best tube, these just get most votes as most liked, that's it, there you go, cheers. |
Electroslacker, Thankyou, that was a comprehensive well said post, I like the old Roy orbison too, though I admitt, it's been a long time, I do not own any of his recording's any more, my mother played Roy alot, I was alway's fasinated by how good he sing's, your despription of the Gold Lion tubes sound's good to me,where did you get them? |
Hi John, No, I do not own the 10m yet, however, these are my must do bucket list for my tube cd-player, I have been spending money on outlet's currently that are exspensive too, I have heard many good thing's about the Amperex Bugle Boy tube's in general, I have researched and talked to many tube lover's for nearly two year's, as far as the 12ax7 tube, it's the same answer over and over, the 12ax7 mullard 10m is it if you can afford one and find it from a reputible dealer, alot of fakes out there. |
Hi John, yes, it's a work in progresse, starting from scratch 2012 is over whelming by way of financial part of it all, cable's are good to go, outlet's are good to go, amp is, getting to tube's ect... speaker's, you know, this take's a while, then you can buy and sale and get half your money back and build away, under my circumstance's, I'm doing very good, actually, better than I projected. |
I own a fairly good set of cans, they sound good, but I still prefer the two channel magic of a good sound system more. |
