The Mullards I spoke of are the stock tubes (Russian) that came with the Hagerman. They are the current production long plates. Not bad tubes (for the $) at all really, but just lacking in some mid-hi clarity. The Gold Lion’s are an improvement in that regard.
But, I’ll keep the Gold Lion’s in with the iFi setting set as ‘push-pull’ as the combination, collectively, has ever sounded this good just by changing that setting. And that really surprised me, as I never expected it to have such a big effect.
My twitchy fingers are looking for NOS Telefunken’s, and I’m close to pulling that trigger….But really, right now, I’m pretty pleased with how everything sounds together.
