Which Preamp-Set from Eurotubes for DR ?

[UnderJollyRoger]

Hi folks,

I'm thinking of getting a tube set from Eurotubes, just for the fun

Anyway, has anybody experience with either the "Mesa Dual Rec Personal Fav Front End" or the "Mesa Dual Rec High Gain Front End" ? I don't need insane amounts of gain, but a heavy, modern tone from Channel 3 and a good clean tone is what I want. Both sets should offer it, but where exactly are the differencies ? Recommendations ?

Not much of a difference either way. The eurotube set is pretty descent sounding IMO. Also IMO the gold pin improvement is pure myth. Not worth the extra $$. Id go with the regular set or regular high gain set.

But YMMV


I like the Dougs tubes Mesa preamp tube set best.

So, I've devided to give the regular High Gan Set a try ... we'll see what happens

I use the standard issue High Gain Front End set in my Rectos.

Regular JJ ECC83S are awesome in the gain and cathode follower positions in my Dual Recto. I am currently using a Sylvania 12AX7 in V1 and am digging this combination.
