I don't expect to find a single person with comprehensive knowledge of this tube, but surely there are a few with enough exploration of it to be able to piece together a sonic profile. Moreover, I don't believe the audio world is so utterly atomistic that nobody can sat what any tube sounds like because of the uniqueness of every circumstance. What I'm interested in, specifically, is the difference (if any) between the long and the short plates, and between the regular 12AU7 and the 6189.
Radiotechnique 12AU7/ECC82/6189 Sonics
Radiotechnique 12AU7/ECC82/6189... What's the sonic difference between the long and short plate versions? Is there any difference in the various years of manufacture? Which version is the "best"? Versions to avoid?
I'm exploring tubes for my DAC. So far I like the Sylvania 6189. But I'd like more warmth, without going the mushy Mullard route.
