Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage.


Need some help deciding which preamplifier to purchase. I am looking at hagerman audio trumpet and I have a great offer to buy musical fidelity m6x vinyl that is the same price of the hagerman trumpet.

"The Hagerman Trumpet will provide the classic tube amp sound which is known to be colored and slightly rounded on top."

Really?

 

@lewm is correct!

FYI: 5914, 5963,6189 and ECC82 are all replacements for the 12AU7 tube!!

Yes that was a typo error. BTW, my tube power amps use 12BH7 tubes and I was told from the manufacturer that I can sub a 12AU7 in place of a 12BH7.

It should be okay to try. The 12bh7 supposedly draws more heater current, but they should otherwise be pretty similar as far as compatibility. So if the circuit can handle a 12bh7, a 12au7 should be fine.
