“Running these in my PL Dialogue Premium HP Integrated with KT120 power tubes. With the extra headroom provided by the KT120's I can run this amp in triode mode most of the time now. In this mode the Brimars impart a very refined and naturally textured sound. Piano has wonderful tones and overtones while sounding full and dynamic up and down the frequency scale, and violins are sweet and shimmering. Vocals take on a very natural quality. Also, they seem to take some of the bite out of ultralinear mode - on some recordings makes it hard to decide my preferred setting. Highly recommended.”

“I've tried many different 12AU7 NOS tubes and these Brimar 12AU7/CV4003's add textures to my high resolution classical music (especially on string instruments) that I've never hear before. They also seem to smooth out subtle timing queue's making the music more engaging. Great valves. Highly recommended!”
