Plinko,
I agree with your comments on the Mullard CV4004. Definately more resolution and less fuzzy sounding. More recessed soundstage compared to the stock Chinese tubes( also very good) or the Ei Ecc-83 Gray plates I tried. More punchy, deeper bass. I am using the Mazda Chrome Plate 12AU7 ca.~1963
I have some RCA 12AX7 c.1955 long BP's (not 5751) on the way and some very highly regarded Sylvania labeled Conn.12AU7ca.~1953 on the way to audition only from a good friend.( he wont part with them to sell!!)
If you still read this thread...let us know where you are in your tube rolling on the PL2.
Regards,
Ken
