Kevin, and welcome to AA.

Or quite a bit of fun! I've found a number of reputable resources for very rare and not so rare tubes over the years and with a bit of a collection and three different tube testers have even become a bit of a resource myself on occasion.
Quote:
The Jeff Day review on my particular version Monbrison mentions it implementing 12AU7 and 12AT7 tubes in addition to the 6X4 and ECL84 tubes. While my unit did indeed have the last two mentioned tubes present inside, I found Philips 5814A of 1980s vintage where I expected to find the 12AU7 and 12AT7. As you mentioned, the 5814A is an optional replacement for the 12AU7 but I cannot explain the 12AT7 reference. Thank you, Cellindo. |

Dear Kevin, My Monbrison original serie 1 (a genuine 1, not a 1 'bis' unit with EF86) is made of: * One Sovtek ECL82/6BM8 in the power supply * One Raytheon 6X4 in the power supply too (on top of the ECL82) * One pair of Brimar CV4004 (ie. 12AX7/ECC83) for the gain in the Phono stage * One pair of JAN Philips 6189WA (ie. 12AU7/ECC82) in the Line stage The 5814A's are a possible (very good) replacement for the 6189WA/12AU7/ECC8's2, however in my case experimenting with the signal gain tubes could significantly alter the original voicing of my preamp. So, I'm not very "courageous" of swapping these tubes unless when my stock unit Brimar and JAN Philips are worn out. The two power supply tubes get aged faster and need replacement every 2000hrs or so, I was told.

Hey guys,
I'm still curious if any of you are experiencing noise during warmup with your preamps? I'm not sure if it's the Telefunken PLC86 tubes that are just noisy, or if it's a common thing. Any ideas? Thx! |

I've owned two Shindo preamps (Masseto and now VR) and both were/are completely silent in warmup and during playback. Check the tubes to see if any need replacing.

Well it's been doing it since day one, which was less than three months ago. Maybe I'll give the importer a shout. That being said, after the initial warmup; pure bliss. This has been the most expensive audio purchase to date but has made an incredible difference in my system, and couldn't live without it now.
