Pq showed me about half a pallet of that valve Mark. He was saying how he liked them and showed me his stockpile. Audio note won't run out.

But as ever YMMV and all that

Odd how I completely forgot that discussion !
Was that in SE or PP circuit, Steve ?
It may be they do something nice at small-signal level but not at higher levels .

I think it was a push pull EL84 with phase splitting transformers.
Mind you, I knew far less about getting them right than I do now, so the lousy sound might very well have been down to
my inexperience.

I was wondering wat would be the best solution. Using a 6463 linestage for both DAC and Pre-amp or is it possible to combine a 6463 for DAC and 5687 for a preamp? Any sugestions ?

regards,
Marcella
