“The Amperex 7316 early version, with a D-getter, is not as fat, lying sonically between the Mullard and Telefunken, it is extremely sweet with a euphonic rounded midrange and good bass.” Read
“They have excellent prat, but sound a little bright in my system. The mids are warm and clear. They are nice tubes, but not worth paying a premium for.” Read

And today was a turn of 12au7 from Mullard. I had to finish that Mullard story in one sitting 🙂 This time I decided to roll three very distinctive – kind of the hill – tubes. Mullard Long Plates, Mullard Box Plates & Mullard Short Plates. The results were quite interesting – and Yes i did enjoy that roll a lot!
Mullard 12au7 Short Plates – this tube could be had for practically nothing on Ebay – $8-10. Which is amazing considering the quality it brings to any system that uses 12au7. This is the signature Mullard sound with very sweet mids and very relaxed presentation – there is not iciness in the music produced by the tubes. You just sit down and listen and enjoy.

life. The only flaw it might have would be on bright systems it tends
to have a happy high end, but I can live with it”. Read
“Beautiful punch/dynamics, with the leading edge of the Telefunken’s without the “etch”. The body of the harmonic is not quite as full as the long plate Mullard’s/Amperex’s but more body then the Telefunken’s.” Read
