Hey Raven,

I just stuck some Mullards in my preamp. 2 of the ecc83's. So Im running two of those and a Telefunken NOS 12AU7. The guys kept talking about the Mullards, so after running the Golden lions for about a year, I wanted to give them a shot. They are a tad better than the GL in the mids and not as airy in the top..... bass seems to go a little deeper but sounds a little muddy now. I hear lots of detail, perhaps a little more that the GL in the mids. Horns and percussion really is a positive. They are not as transparent as the GL And female voices are right there sounding good. The mids do seem like the strong point and in a way I hope they settle down just a tad in the mids and the bass....they are a little warmer sounding than the GL. They also seem to be less gain than the GL..They are brand new and only have about 30 minutes on them so it will be at least 30 more hours before they are fully run in. So I guess my question too you, seeing you got lost of reps with multiple tubes, what tube is perhaps like the Mullards only better? I do think my next tube will be some Radiotech tubes. but I wanted to ask you about some like the Mullards.

Thanks.
