Looking to buy some Mullard cv4024/12at7 tubes. Went directly to their website,and found they are $60/pair. I need 2 pair.
Just wondering if anybody knew of anywhere else to buy with confidence,for less money. Found a couple other sites with them,but dont know if they're repitible!
Thanx for any suggestions!

    Get the Mullard CV4024/M8162 instead, it's a vastly better sounding tube. There's a British seller on eBay offering them at about $58.00 a pair.

    That is an awfully nice gesture Jesse! TYVM! Is there much truth to the NOS sounding better than the new stuff produced? Say,directly from Mullard?
    As I'm sure you already figured,this is for my Jolida pre. It has(4)12at7eh,electro-harmonix stock tubes,and i would like to try and upgrade. Just trying to get the most out of my system! TYTY!

    Well thanks, but I didn't say I was going to buy them for you....LOL

    Depends on the tube and who's making it, but in general, yes.

    They will take your pre amp to an entirely different level. Those EH tubes are horrible.
