Slovakia JJ ECC 802 and 803 tubes.


My new Luxman CL38U-SE has these tubes. They give a nice warm detailed sound w/good bass. Never heard of them has anyone used these tubes, What's your opinion. Not looking to change tubes now but down the road any other brands I might try??

linnlingo I think you mean ECC83 which is the same as 12ax7 and ECC82 which is a 12au7. At least that's what the non SE version of your preamp uses. Very common tubes however my gear doesn't use either so no specific recs. I'm sure others will have some.
Tube Depot sells the JJ 802 & 803 and is used in the SE version. Luxman mentions the difference in their specs.
They  are drop in replacements for 12ax7's and 12au7's. I still think you can buy better tubes than JJ's for you preamp including some nice NOS tubes but it's your call of course.
I have had great luck with Gold Lion 12AU7s from Ron Sheldon at Cryoset.   Very even sound, good dynamic swing and very quiet.  They seem to last forever...
