Philips-Amperex ECC82 marked as Valvo. Absolutely stunning tubes, my preamp now has a huge image with pinpoint location and great detail/tonality. These are the best 5814A/12AU7 tubes that I have found. I'm back for another pair before they sell out! Bill
ReplyDeleteThese ECC82 Holland are sound Big with 3D wonderful image. Add liquidity to the vocal and remove all of the edginess on some of my old vinyl LPs. Make me just want to listen to the music more and more. They replaced my Mullard CV4003. The Mullard are good but these Holland ECC82 are great in my system.
ReplyDeleteAfter about 100 hrs break in period, the ECC82 Holland sound even better, smoother high with good detail still. The best 3D image and sound stage tubes in my system. (another good sound stage tube is RFT ECC82). And to my system these Holland ECC82 also one of the best Vocal tubes too ! Don't believe me - just try for yourself.
ReplyDeleteBought these ECC82 and very impress with the sound so I came back for more of them but unfortunately they out of stock. Instead Koray advised the earlier version with large O getter from Holland that he has some on hand which rarely to find nowadays. Of course at the higher price. Sound very very good. So if you can't find the tubes here in this web, ask Koray.
