Thanks for the suggestion, George. I contacted Kevin at Upscale -- the Tungsrams are $45.00 each, which seems reasonable enough -- unfortunately, Kevin will only ship a minimum order of $150.00 to Canada, and I can't make 45 x 2 = $150.00! Also, he will only ship FedEx, which has some nasty brokerage fees. I am trying to arrange with a friend who does business in the States to have them shipped to her.
In the meantime, Eli Duttman suggested on Vinyl Asylum that the JJ/Tesla (supposedly based on a Telefunken) would provide a nice balance to the Mullards -- perhaps because they have a more neutral midrange, so they aren't bloating the rich midrange of the Mullards. He had liked the JJs in a T6 phono pre going into an all tube ASL integrated
Anyway, Triode Electroncs sells matched pairs of the JJs at about $20.00 for the pair, and ships by USPS air for $5.00.
Not as good as the Tungsrams, I'm sure, but a fairly inexpensive eperiment to find out if changing the tubes will make a significant difference.
