Agreed. 12BH7A (CV5042) can be great. Curious if the Trumpet could facilitate it.

I had an amp that called for 12AU7/ECC82 and I swapped in a long black plate Brimar CV5042. It draws more heater current but man, it had such a "black" background and air, I was blown away.

Doesn't this rely on the power supply? As I am running the SBooster LPS, it is capable of 2.5A @15v, the stock Hagerman w/wall wart was designed for 2.05A @15v. So, as designed, the SBooster (in theory) has more current available than the Trumpet was designed for, which is good. But, may not be enough for 12HBH7A's if they call for 3A.

I might have this all wrong, just learning here. From what I am reading, it is the power supply that could be damaged by not being able to provide enough current, (in my case), not the Trumpet itself.

Brian, on the Trumpet, it all depends on the internal capacity of the DC regulator feeding the tubes on the board.
