WTD NOS ECC82 valve

**brian2957** · 15-03-2017, 19:57

Having recently bought a Croft Micro preamp from a member on this forum I'm now looking for a NOS ECC82 valve . I'm new to this valve rolling malarkey so will have to do a bit of research on what's on offer . Thanks

Which generation and level of micro is it? With my basic I didn't like a mullard as it was too soft and mellow I preferred a more upfront (but not harsh) valve. I think a tesla/russian or us milspec valve would.work, or if its a more upmarket model then maybe a telefunken or siemens?

it's this one here Lawrence http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...remote-control!

Less than a year old I believe .

As always it's down to personal preference but from my experience I can highly recommend Tungsram for ECC82's and they are very reasonably priced too ...
Try and find one from 1960's production. I believe the ones with red printing are mil spec.

Don't you want E82CC valves in the preamp?
