Brent Jesse of audiotubes.com suggested Mazda of France EL84 tubes as replacements for the JJEL84 in our Luxman NQ150 integrated amp. Was not originally happy with the Mazda tubes, but after 60+ hours they came into their own. Great sound.
Recommend new EL84 tubes
Hi all, I have been contacted by a good friend asking me to source 8 X EL84 for his Manley Stingray which is a parallel P-P integrated amp.
He has had the original valves for about 10 years, which I think are rebranded Sovteks or Electro Harmonix 6Pi14Pi-EB.
2 sets of matched quads will do. He is looking to improve on the originals. The amp has individual bias pots for each valve so perfect matching is not paramount.
He also needs a pair of 12AT7's. Best quality needed for this position.
