I use all NOS tubes and mix. On the two center tubes I use some radiotechnique 12AU7 manufactured in 1956, the other four are General Electric 6189W. BTW, I agree with Bliss comments

@stereo5 Thank you for the kind words. My goal is to keep being an audiophile and serve the community first and hope my business will be successful as a result. It hasn't been easy considering I have limited capital and only a handful of brands that I work with, but the journey has been incredibly rewarding to date especially because I've become a bigger part of the community. It's been good talking with you here and there on threads even before my username changed a few months back (used to be thiefoflight). Once in a while I may recommend some brands that I carry on the threads, but even then, I make it a point to try to be as objective as I can and point out observations to other gear it has been compared to, and I always want to be empathetic to the needs of the person who is trying to advance beyond where they are. I'd feel horrible pushing something that I didn't think was truly was the right fit. And for the moments that I do recommend those brands, I am 100% honest whether I am a dealer for it or not. Thanks again for your advocacy and hope we can continue our support for each other! |
@thecarpathian , I have the Evo 300 power amp and use NOS Tung-Sol black glass 12au7s for the center positions, and a quad of NOS RCA cleartops for the other 4 positions. I also tried my NOS Mullards in the center and there wasn't much of a difference in the sound. I can say I've been very happy with the Evo 300 both in sound quality and in ease of use for a tube amp.

Thank you for the info @yakbob , and the other guys who've responded so far. Juan, can you delve a bit into what you feel is the EVO's biggest strengths and weaknesses? Thanks! |
