Jolida 502B correct tube allocation

Thanks guys!!

@Detredwings...yes, I have noticed some post about the NOS stuff, I think that I will remain on new tubes only.

@Wolf: hope the Gods made you prohet! Believe me: there is nothing here around vacuum tubes...just expert technicians on transistor amplifiers and similars, and only 4-5 five stores with a few of Nakamichi's, Denon, Bose, and very rare to see but sometimes you can find some McIntosh.

Mechans, do you find many difference between the NOS - New Mullard's ?

Don't get me wrong. I really like NOS tubes. I have a nice hoard to prove it. But you mentioned that shipping and customs duties where high in your country. It can get very expensive trying NOS. You should have some tube guys around. Don't give up!

I have never tried the Genalex tubes. I have tried the Full Music and Pasvane and like them both. But they are not cheap.

Now I got the idea Detredwings...thanks!

I will be shopping the tubes next week I think...

Costa Rica is a very small country, 53.000 km2 ( West Virginia similar size)

and San José and Escazú the main cities fits twice at District Columbia :)) believe me...we need a High End - or vacuum tube store for real!!

To answer your question , yes there are very significant differences between the NOS and the current Mullard branded tubes.
The current "reissues" are made in Russia and evidently come from the same manufacturers as do Sovtek, they are now called New Sensor. The good news is that the new Mullards and Tung Sols don't sound like Sovteks. They are much fuller,less dry, have much less glare or treble brittleness. They are indeed very very good and its nice to know they are around.
The old Mullards posess an incomparable and indescribable warmth and richness with a perhaps a small emphasis on the midbass (the opposite of a thin sounding tube). The old tubes still preserve detail and have treble extension but are very sweet, non fatuiging in the upper registers -mellow toned if you will. If you can afford some like the fairly common, later CV-4004s, I encourage you to try them. Don't forget the Gold Lion KT 88s you will be thanking me for that recommendation, you gotta believe me on this one.

Wow!! Clear as water Mechans!!

I'm very focus about the AT's and the AX's... I will try to get Mullards the CVs something :)

You make me think again about the KT's: at this moment I'm thinking at the SED WINGED C or the Gold Lions...
