Really promise? OK. GE 5 Star 5751's in the Norh SE-9 are the BOMB! Shhh! We don't want E-Bayers running up the prices.

What do you know about 12BZ7's, my man? I got a bunch of these on a deal, because they have the same gain with twice the g and twice the gm of a 12AX; they looked like they could drive the RIAA from Hell. I have heard that: They are wildly variable in their characteristics, example-to-example (including in the same envelope), They have a very short service lifetime, and then go hideously microphonic, They tend to noise, Other horrors. Ever fool (I mean experiment) with any of these? Y O S Poinz

Pretty things, big ol plates. At a millivolt on the grid, we don' need no steenkin' linear. I was going to use them in the first stage of a phono amp, so I could put any nasty LCR RIAA in one lump, then maybe a 6922 SRPP output, minimize stages. I don't have a turntable anyway, so they sit on the shelf. Thanks, Poinz
