I think you are right.I can't find a schematic for it Phil, so it's guesswork. However, it's likely that all four are going to matter. It's a preamp, so one or two may be buffers, but they won't be phase splitters or similar and will all be in the signal path.
The Philips shouldn't be at all bad. There will be better, but I'm loath to suggest trying, because it could quickly turn into a moneypit if you need four.
I do have some pairs, but apart from CV4003s the rest may possibly not be better than the 5963s. And the CV4003s go for silly money. IME the CV4003 (the KQDD marked type) and Mullard M8136 are the best of the 12AU7 varieties, but the prices don't match the improvement frankly.
I've got a perfect matched sections and pair of Sylvania 5814a Gold Brand, gold pin, measure as new if you are interested? They'll be pricey - sufficiently rare that I can't find any that have been for sale lately on the fleabay. I also have a pair of standard grey ladder plate Sylvania 12AU7s which are nicely matched and closer to sensible money. There are some RCA cleartop 1960's vintage 12AU7 marked 'Ten', also very nice and matched sections and pair, some GE 5 star double mica, GE ordinary triple mica, and God knows what else - loads of Mullards. PM if interested?In a rose rv23.
Though it currently has 4 jan Philips green print 5963, which might be quite good.
Darn minefield.
Yes please. I’ll pm. CheersI think I do, are you still needing one?
