ajcllc Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 How do these sound? I just got a trio of them..the gray-plated ones... off eBay for my Dynaco ST70. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwhaples Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 How DO they sound? Have you tried them yet? Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Slap them in a find out!! I would venture to say they will sound darn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Isn't that just the phase splitter -- will that actually effect the sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 In this case he will be changing tube types from 12AT7 to 12AU7's in both the driver and phase splitters locations. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajcllc Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 I got the Tung sol 12AU7''s, and I already notice tighter bass as well as better stage presence and overall clarity. Also, they are very smooth sounding with a tamed upper register. Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Right on the money!! That front end works way better with 12AU7's in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I've swapped the 12ax and 12au tubes in my VRDs and I didn't even know the difference. I've tried this a few times. Can't even tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
