Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube?


I have been searching to find the sonic characteristics of the AD1 tube when compared to DHT like the 45, 2A3 etc.

I find the 45 mesh plate by EML to be the finest tube I know. I quite like the 2a3 EML mesh too, but find it doesn't have the beauty or musicality of the 45 mesh. Although it has more authority. So I wondered if being so linear whether the AD1 with its 4w was a super 45?

I haven't found any reviews of the yammy A06 (mk1/mk2 or mk3). Is it that rare?

Hi Crubio
Following Chadeffect's post, can you say more about the difference between the "less lively" A06-3 and the A 08s, to guide me before I send the deposit for an 06-3, (or an 08s) this week.
I like the special quality of the 45 mesh plates in the 08s, and had planned to order one. I have since understood the A06-3's AD 1 valves give close to or the same magic as the 45's, yet with power headroom and other advantages (for use with 104db Loth X Troubadour Stamm driver horns). They're both beautiful, but sound capability / character is more important to me.
