I can’t add anything, far as advice, to what mijostyn posted, but- that Brent Jesse Recording, Upscale Audio (Kevin Deal) and Vintage Tubes Services (Andy Bouwman) are all excellent sources, for noise-tested/rated tubes and accurate information. Of course; Kevin Deal is also very familiar with your Manley, being a dealer.
Rolling pre tubes question
Hi all,
A few questions from a novice tube roller. I have a Manley Stingray II and have been playing around with the pre tubes.
1. Should amp be turned all the way off, or is stand by OK when changing tubes ?
2. Tubes that have paper labels glued on them ( Brimar CV 4033 ) OK ?
3. Can input tubes ( 12 at7's or the Brimar CV 4033's ) be substituted for the driver tubes...6414's ? I have read that 6414 can be substituted for 12 at7's but what about visa verse ?
I have use the Brimar CV 4033 in the 12 at7 input spot and enjoy the sound, so was wondering about it as a driver ?
4. What tube is more impact on the sound , input or driver ?
5. Ideas for rolling the 6414 as i do not see many around ?
Thank you. Mike
