I did find this quote regarding this particular tube...I have seen pics of the CV491 version of the Mullard but cannot see the K61 anywhere on the tube.Should I stay away?RandyThe K61 B will be on the side towards the bottom, it will be etched into the glass.
This the one you missed out on right here on AC Randy. Here's the double bar D getter; and here's the K61 printed on the tube base; Snooze you lose. Cheers,Robin
Serves me right for taking a two day break from AC! I did contact the AC seller of that very Mullard and was not a dollar short but was most certainly a day late. The good news is there are others...Regards,Randy
(Sorry Randy. I didn't snooze. I was the one who bought the Mullard longplate recently posted!)I just received my EE DAC last Thursday. It is replacing a Tube Audio TADAC that has sounded great in my system but I have been anxious to try another DAC. I've been close to buying the W4S DAC but couldn't pull the trigger. With all the great reviews of the EE DAC, I decided to give it a try.Straight out of the box, I really like the EE DAC. I'm hearing details I have not heard before. I'll slowly change connections and tubes to see how the sound changes. I'm currently connecting my Mac Mini to the EE DAC via toslink. I had been concerned that jitter on the toslink might cause the DAC to not lock onto the signal. But I've had no problems with dropouts. I am going to try a USB to SPDIF connector though just for comparison. I have an MF V-Link and am waiting on my Black Cat Veloce to arrive.I will also try tube rolling. I love Mullards. I have 4 CV4003 Mullards in my pre-amp. My TADAC has 2 of the same tubes. I'm going to roll in a Mullard CV4003 to see how it sounds, especially since it seems to be a favorite on this thread. I also have an Amperex I want to try and may try an RCA Cleartop I have. And of course, I'll try the Mullard longplate sometime after it arrives.Bill O: Thanks for your support and prompt shipment.--Doug
Hey Guys:I have come across a Mullard 12AU7 that seems to fit the bill. It is a Long Plate with the square D getter. The markings on the tube are as follows:MullardK61B8E861BVAMade in Great BritainIt it not the military version as it does not have the CV marking anywhere.The tube is NOS and in perfect shape in the original box. I know this because the tube is local and I went and looked at it.Is this the tube everyone is raving about?Thanks,Randy

New EE DAC features coming in September ...Italian M2Tech A Sync technology
So like other M2Tech products (hiface, evo, young DAC) its USB asynch input won't work with Linux. Shame they did this.
