Hello everyone,
I have not participated in this thread nor have I begun any tube rolling but I must start now as the tubes in my slightly used MWTP I believe are going out...
I am in need of some assistance, but please bear in mind I have never owned, operated or heard tubes before now... I have had the unit for aprox 2 or 3 months (purchased from an AC member on Agon). I never got to hear it with the original tubes as it arrived with them going out on me. The seller sent a few tubes that I have been using from the start.
So I started with: Tun-Sol 5u4GB & 5AR4 GZ34 (mullard) for the rectifier and only have a pair of RCA 6cg7's for the signal tubes...
I believe the signal tubes are beginning to go out. One gets just slightly less illuminated than the other and I think it is beginning to show periodic static/distortion (which is what the stock tubes showed up doing)...
I am interested in getting the Boulder Cable adapters and going with all 6sn7's (from just some short research over the weekend here)...
BUT since the adapters may take a week or two to get I need a recommendation of a pair of 9 pin signal tubes for to use in the mean time that I could quickly find and order.
Anything else besides another pair of RCA 6cg7's???
EDIT: oh, also, what are the most common and respected online tube stores?
Thank you all for this thread and I look forward to reading it more.
