To kick the ball rolling...
A small part of my tube collection that went for sale on ebay when I sold my Air Tight - and the amp those tubes were rolled in.
Best 12BH7A? RCA. The really old long black plates seemed to have a very slight edge over mid 70s Mexican types. Both are excellent, though.
Best ECC83 - the Telefunken ECC803s - which I owned, and sold for $$$, because the orignal Tesla Vrsovice (NOT JJ) ECC803s is every bit as good.
Best ECC82 - Mil spec Mullard shown last - CV4024 made around 1984 - one of the last - and way better than the really early ones, IMHO. Doesn;t look that great but put one in your hands and the quality is obvious. Really nice thick glass, too. I have never bettered that for an ECC82 - RCAs are very good, though.
The Air Tight is loaded with Tung-Sol 6550s with 3 Tesla Vrsovice KT88s in the background. They'd be in it - but one blew
Any tube recommendations you have? And preferably with a pic?
