I have one thing to add to what the others have said. I use my seduction as a tape pre for my R2R, and went through quite a few tubes trying to find the right sound. Well the seduction takes forever to break in, so you may want to wait until you have many, many, hours on it; then try some of the tubes suggested here. I still haven't finished trying tubes for mine, but I found a Tesla and a ECC 288 to be pretty good so far.
Bottlehead Seduction and tube rolling help
Hi all,
I just purchased a bottlehead seduction phono preamp. I think that the amp is fine but that I need to do some tube rolling before things start to work for me in my system. Currently, I find the tubes to be not very detailed or transparent. The current tubes are some kind of made in holland generic tube. I've also tried some russian 6922s. What tube would bring more detail and transparency.
thanks
andy
