Wow, no kidding?

I'm using them for the front end of the Machine from now on, I have 140 Mullards and 200 Hitachi.  IME, you have to get a few since, not being a dedicated audio device, they test a little scattery (not nearly as bad as the 5965, though).  I built myself a pretty comprehensive test breadboard, I can test for rp, gm, and in-circuit gain. The Hitachis do test a little stronger and tighter than the Mullards; I have them in the amp breadboard now, and am trying different output transformers, coupling caps, O P points for the 6GKs (I'm using the IXYS chip CC in the tail, so I can dial the current in the front end with the twist of a screwdriver).

Tell you what; I have a perfect quad of Mullards sitting right by the amp, I'll put them in there today and report back from this end.

Interesting,

Poinz
