Interesting topic with interesting responses , so with that being said everything that I say is either male bovine droppings to some or rings true to others .

| Tavish Design Adagio Owners grkThat is a great set up , how did you decide to try the 12BH7in place of the 12AU7A ? I am curious about the sound after reading other opinions on substituting. I had to look up the data sheets on both and would be a little hesitant because of ... | |
