Post by: henrylr on December 20, 2021, 02:51:01 PM

Has anyone tried Mullard CV2493 KQDD/K tubes in an Audible Illusions preamp? If so, what was result and tube longevity?
Thanks

WOW!!!!. The NOS Mullard CV2493 KQDD/K tubes made a significant improvement to the sound of my system: OPPO-95, Audible Illusions M3A preamp, McCormack Deluxe Edition DNA 0.5  Amp, B&W P6 speakers with custom made outboard crossovers, XLO S2 Interconnects and XLO Ultra 6 speaker cables.

Ah…that’s great news  :thumb: How many Mullards did you need and were they pricey?
