Tube rolling Manley Shrimp

The NOS Mullard 12AT7WA / CV4024 are the best (regardless of money I think). I use the in my Stingray. World will go crazy hunting them when the old stock runs out - look what people paying for NOS Mullard CV4004/12AX7 right now!

Thanks. I've always had great respect for the warmth of the Mullards and I ordered some CV4024s when I ordered the amp as well.

Was thinking of something along the lines of a Mullard E182CC in place of the 7044s or 5687s. Amp just arrived yesterday and I will listen to it for a while before I start changing tubes.

Thanks again for your input.

I replaced the signal tubes with Mullard 4024s early on and felt that the sound became a bit warmer. As to the output tubes, my unit came with GE 7044s; I later switched to some Tung-Sol 5687s from the mid-'50s, but I don't recall this having much effect on the sound. In any case, this combination continues to work well for me.
