OK so the Defy will
~~~NOT ~~~ accept the E80's as a swap for the REQUIRED 12AU7,,,so my tech guy here in new orleans also did some reserach and explains ~~Some curcuits may accepta swap of the AU for the E80,,but not the Defy~~~, so thats that,,gotta dump my stash of E80's on ebay, got about 50 of em.
Prices just reduced from 130 to 45 each...anyway,,he is now cking to see if the Defy will take the 150's, which i know will, and he is cking the bias,,as i bought 12 froma ebay seller who buys stuff 2nd hand, these tubes were tested at ARC and some say *bad* *archs* etc,,but all in all most are good. They were ARC's *rejects* nothing really wrong with em,,got em for a good price,,will post follow up,,,he says the amp was distortuing badly,,but i figured it was the preamp when turned above 1/3 vol gain,,,. anyway,,,i'll keep everyone posted on updates.
Just a pair of the 150's with 4 88's one channel, madea HUGE sonic gain,,so i am expecting the Defy with 150's to be a ~~Mind Blower~~~..now gotta find some Tele AU's in my stash,
