| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Not that I noticed Steve. To be honest I’m not sure spec-wise what their gain is vs the 12au7’s, but know from reading, many have used them in place of au’s, and seemingly ‘equivalent’. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @noromance Well, the CBS-Hytron 5814A‘s arrived, and was anxious to compare them to the Brimar’s. Wow, I think I like these a lot. More detailed and ‘clear’. Because of that, the dynamics seem as good if not better. Listening to some complex orc... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @noromance Thanks Brian. Just checked, they will arrive tomorrow. Looking forward to checking them out. I love the Tele/Dynaco smooth plate AX7’s, so will be interesting to compare these ‘au7’s’ with them, and see which works better together. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @noromance My Brimar’s are NOS CV4003 originally from Upscale. And no, not black plate. Yea, the Amperex are said to be quite good, but obviously much more $$$. As I say, these were pretty inexpensive, (only $58 for 2 shipped), so can hardly go... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @noromance Hey Brian, I have a couple of CBS-Hytron 5814A black plate tubes coming to use in the 12au7’s sockets of the Trumpet (looks like they might arrive tomorrow). Ever heard these tubes? I think these are from the 50’s with red lettering. ... | |

| Project Tube Box DS2 vs. Hagerman Audio Trumpet MC @orange5o Holy smokes. Well, Russian made, so there ya go. That’s ridiculous. For that $, I would be on the hunt for some old stock tubes. Talk to Andy at Vintage Tube Services. | |

| Project Tube Box DS2 vs. Hagerman Audio Trumpet MC @orange5o The Gold Lion gold pins I have are new. Really not a huge investment. IIRC about $35~40 per. Yea, you can replace two AX7’s at a time if you wish, but personally, I tried 2 of the stock Mullards and 2 of the Gold Lions, and yea, went w... | |
| Project Tube Box DS2 vs. Hagerman Audio Trumpet MC @orange5o Congrats. Yea, they may break in some, but, depending on what you want, changing the tubes will change the sound signature quite a bit. Do some research, read the sound signatures of various tubes, then try some. It’s fun. I also ch... |
