I pulled the trigger for this 12 Telefuken ECC82 5 mins ago.
i will use them in Margules pre which use 4 ECC82.
Amperex ECC82 sounds warm and balanced.
RCA 12bh7 sounds robust.
Maybe Telefuken ECC82 may sounds lively and crisp like Telefuken ECC83.
I will find out next week.
Just saw this. This is a fabulous rectifier. Can be used as a substitute for 5U4G. Works beautifully in the Horizon. One of my favorites. And its only about $40!
Genalex B759. The stuff of legends.. from my collection
Is this the top 12ax7 on the planet? Maybe

Hi Adrian
Would love to see the b759s in your collection, thanks for sharing with us all the beautiful pictures of your tubes
Did listen to these B759 in my friends set up and was offer 4 of these during my stay in Hong Kong in 1976 but found them poor value for money. I'm getting jealous of yoursHi Adrian

'Wow were they expensive even back in 1976? Yes tubes are hardly good value for money nowadaysDid listen to these B759 in my friends set up and was offer 4 of these during my stay in Hong Kong in 1976 but found them poor value for money. I'm getting jealous of yours
it's old tech but wow do they sound good compared to new.
So sorry my mistake, it was 1996 , he asked 8000 HKD for the FourWow were they expensive even back in 1976? Yes tubes are hardly good value for money nowadays
mixed
I chose 4 out of 12 tubes.
Telefuken ECC82 is really musical with nice timber and wide and deep soundstage although it falls of bass impact compared with RCA 12bh7
To compensate the deep bass, I volumed up the subwoofer output which goes 56hz down.
depends where you use it, im phonoamp with suts .this is best ecc 808 used a adapter pindifferent ecc83
Ok, don't mix in channel L-R,only per amplification stages sounds really diffrent smooth or ribbed.
A smooth plate sounds more organic (phantastic midrange)not so tight clean as a ribbed plate
Thanks for your suggestion.
I am quite happy with Margules pre amp that I bought after listeing to it at Pacific Audiofest,
Telefuken ECC82 and Amperex 6922 tubes are being used in it now.

I must be using smooth plate which sounds organic rather than tight.
But its sound is intoxicating.
