A Gold Lion 6922 would be a much better match for the GAT. The Matsushita 7DJ8 is also great, warm, transparent and images very good. |

And I'm not a great fan of most new tubes. QC aside-which I've found to be horrible for many-they really lack most things. Yes, they are dynamic but that's about it. The only GL I've heard are the GL 12AX7s and they did nothing for me.

My telefunken 12ax7's I used with my MCintosh c2300 were sensational - open, extended, tight bass superb voicing and quiet as a mouse. My telefunken PCC88 I have used with the GAT are also superb, however I actually got a little better treble extension from the stk EH 6922's. I should pop them in again to re-listen cheers Quote:

From cj since they test them in circuit.

To each his own taste. The Tele's never sounded like live music to me. I only tried their 12at7 and 6922 variants so my experience is based on these tubes only.

BTW, I think some of the current production power tubes are just as good or better their NOS counterparts. Some truly great power tubes IMO are the GL KT88, Tung-Sol KT120. I find these to be extremely reliable and great sounding.
Both are definitely better than the GE 6550A and GEC KT88 I have tried. |

NOS, too expensive for 16 power tubes |

I've had good luck and sound with the EC88 Tele's in the GAT. Maybe it's the particular model or year made. Having them stopped my tube rolling entirely. I seem to remember Jeff at c-j liking them as well.

Thanks, I am very temped. Upscale has them at a reasonable price - comparatively of course.
