Re: "Audio" Valves
I am getting a bit confused how the posting system works here - seemingly random order, anyway...…………….
Swapping ECC82s and ECC83s - no - the ECC83 are in the MM phono stage so provide RIAA correction as well as amplification. The single ECC82 is what I am told is a cathode follower which will have a gain of around unity. That being so, my CD signal will only pass through the ECC82, while the record deck will pass through both. And yes, changing the ECC82 changes what the CD sounds like, and it changes what the phono stage sounds like too.
