Tom,
I read quite a while back about your search for the ultimate 12au7. It was your thread that got me on my search. However, I needed four tubes, two per amp and I never could find four, or even a matched pair of the Maxda silver plates, so I ultimately gave up, especially since I spent several hundred $$ on the other NOS tubes with no improvement. That was until recently when I decided to try the new Psvane 12au7-T Mk II tubes. Oh man! They were what I had been dreaming of all these years. I think I've finished my search, at least for now with my current amps.
I recently ordered a new tube preamp which uses 6sn7 tubes. I have only had tube preamps which have the 6922 types, so this will be a new experience for me.

Hi again Sherod!
Hmmm 6SN7 tubes huh? Well you'll definitely have to check out Grant Fidelity's direct drop in replacement's the CV-181 TII tubes. I've read where a few people made the 6SN7 to CV-181 TII swap and loved what they heard. I've even considered commissioning a custom preamp that uses 6SN7 tubes so I could do the same, but then I heard WE845 tubes so I'm set for awhile. If you do try the CV-181 TII tubes. Please let us know what you think, ok?

Tom,
The Psvane CV-181T II tubes are definitely on my list of possible subs. I want to get a feel for the new preamp's sound for a while before I start some tube-rolling. Supposedly, the factory tubes are NOS Sylvania tubes, which have a good reputation.
