yes. but they're not 12ax7's. i failed to note the specs of the tubes.
me bago na naman? bilis ha, i was wondering on the lifespan of the 807 tubes, and what are good replacement tube brands for this type of tube
the 807 just like other tubes can last long. it is electrically equivalent to 1625, 6L6, 6BG6G but they have different filament and socket orientation. the 807 is UX-5 with top cap as protection (its "sungay" is the Anode, touch it you're dead). avoid Westinghouse brand 807, it sounds crap. i use RCA in my 807 amp.
Arnoldc,Sir heard before from a friend that the 807 and 6L6 tube sounded vintage?? is this true?
i was at phasetron yesterday merun nga dun 807 na naka parallel, i was tempted to get it, pero yung isa na lang... anu maganda pang tube roll for matsu 5ar4 and 6sn7? merun ba kayo jan mga sars boys?
5ar4-mullard 6sn7-rcawhat amp did you get??
sino nagbebenta? prices?
Check out vintage tubes buy and sell at wiredstate. mullard 5ar4 goes for 4.5k to 5k per piece. 6sn7 rca around 1.5k to 2.5 per piece.
andy boy...the RCA red base 6SL7 (the best 6SL7 driver tubes by far) is around Php 2.5k each...the NOS Philips is around Php 1.4k each...thanks!
rossifumi,Sir try to contact isak baka meron spare 6sn7 or 5ar4..
yep thnx for the info, dumating na yung hotrodded st70 mo?
if you guys want a good sounding 6SN7, try the Sylvania VT-231's. they are one of the more musical ones and i prefer them over the RCA redbase. i have about a dozen types of 6SN7s, and they are in the top 3. the others i like are the tung-sol and the black-glass ken-rads. but that's me, my ears and my gear...
are those other 6sn7s for sale?
Congrats on your new amp Pre!
Sir what is vintage sound? IMHO vintage sound are lack of dynamics, Monaural sound and no life.....
