I'm with Longplate; I love the sound of the Amperex 7308 gold pin tubes. I prefer those marked Holland to the USA version but both are quite good. If you have a surplus dealer in your town you might try getting a broken old Tektronics tube scope. Often they will contain several handfulls of gold pin 7308s as well as other cool and useful tubes. Best of luck.
6922 tube rolling recommendations
I've been tube rolling tubes in my Bel Canto SEP-1 preamp.
I've gone from Sovteks to Jan NOS to Mullard(1970's version I think....$35/ea from Triode Elec) The Mullards sound much better...quieter background, better top end extension...it's really sparked my curiosity about trying other NOS tubes. I see VTS selling various Telefunken, Siemens, Amperex, and other older Mullards. Can anyone recommend a good step up from my current Mullard gold pins?
