Beard Power Amps RE-Valve

[talisman2]

i'm the proud owner of a fantastic pair of Beard P100 Monoblocks and also a Beard P50 stereo power amp (a pair also favoured by KK) and i was recently fortunate to be offered a full set of input valves for all three power amps (big thanks to Richard Dorrian and his friend Tony who supplied valves).
imagine my suprise when Richard brought me the valves and i discovered that they were all Mullard Originals (i'm talking 16 valves here) and he would take no payment for them .
i was totally 'blown away' by the improvement that putting in new valves made to the sound of my amps and i realised just how old and tired the old valves were getting (it happens so gradually one doesn't seem to notice) just as a matter of interest they are ECC81s , ECC82s , and ECC83s .

Excellent result and a lovely gesture...:guitar:

:wow: A full set of the 80 series. Sounds like you will be buying the rounds for a while.

Great result with the improved sq :)

I've a Beard ca506 and just swapped jan12at7 and jan 12au7 for the psvane equivalents ......these were not old valves [jan's] but the psvane blew them away and then tramped on the remains. Not cheap but the excellent reviews they have received are pretty accurate.
