ADA MP2 No Cleans from Stage Output B

<< < (2/2)

Soloist:
Hey there Hanneman213! I run those new Tung Sols in my Mp2 and they sound excellent. I think you will be very happy with them. :thumb-up:

Systematic Chaos:
Hey Hanneman 213! I can highly recommend Tube-Town from Germany... shipping to Turkey shouldn break the bank and the have Mullard RIs in stock.
This one is my personal favorite: https://www.tube-town.net/ttstore/Tubes/Tube-Town/TT-E83CC-12AX7-V1::4674.html

Hanneman213:
Wow, Thank You all. I was searching in Thomann.de but this tube site is also good.

Hey Hanneman213, good approach IMHO, try the Tung Sols as you can get them easily, as Soloist says you will like them.  And when you can get your hands on some Millard LP RIs, try and compare (and tell us what you think).
New tubes will sound better (like new strings, and give them time/playing to burn in (as they do)).  In this, watch out for if the tube is long plate or short plate.  Short plate tubes are a bit tighter and less microphonic (affected by vibrations etc, acting like a microphone), Long plates (in my experience) are more 3D.  The Mullard re-issues come in long and short plate versions (short plate - http://www.dougstubes.com/preamp-tubes/12ax7-ecc83-7025/mullard-cv4004-12ax7.html), as do other tube offerings.  I've found no microphonic issues with the Mullard LPs (and I'm not a soft player  O:-) >:D ) but I love the added depth/dimension they bring.

And if you have an hour or two to kill, have a read through the tube posts (http://adadepot.com/index.php?board=38.0)
