    yep there has been some trouble with the PM's of late. I typed in f1nut wrote all i needed hit send and f1nut disappeared from the line then when it was gone I noticed it said I was PM'ing 7 different people, all of which were not even close to f1nut as a forum member. I immediately excused myself from that thread and tried again and what do you know he and I conversed.

    I love the Amperex Bugle Boy France 12AT7 in the preamp spots. I also like Mullard CV4024 George mentioned. Other contenders from Brimar and Tele sounds great too but I love the Amperex France in the Manley preamp more focused and balanced throughout.
    Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin:

    I saved a nice pair of ECC81 Amperex BB's w/treble cleft made in France. Don't currently have a need for ECC81's but one needs a stash and the French made Philips tubes are sweet.
