I have gotten great results out of some Brimar 6060 tubes. Great sounding, long lasting.

@Hi-FiGuy

If I'm not mistaken english is not the OP's first language I think what he's asking is what brand ECC81's did/does Magnat use in this particular amp.

 

[Hi-FiGuy]

If you take a photo of the tubes in the amp now, we could probably identify them.

I just took a look at their web site, the tubes apear to be frame grid style JJ ECC81 / 12AT7. They could could also be Chinese 12AT7 tubes, but that tube has a shield that Im not seeing in the photos.

I would bet it’s a Telefunken. I’ve seen them in other Magnat products. Are there any other original tubes in the unit? If so, it will most likely be the same brand for all the tubes.

 

[Dswankey]

^ I didn't realize Telefunken was still manufacturing tubes, Magnat is a German company so it kind of makes sense

 

[Mdpaudio]

Actually, they don’t make tubes any more but NOS are available at a price. I was under the impression that it was an older piece of equipment. Magnat has been around for a long time. When was this unit made?

 

[Hi-FiGuy]

New Telefunken tubes are rebranded JJ's. If they are original Telefunken tubes, and they are frame grid type, they would be ecc803s or ecc88 family.

Based on this link it looks to be fairly recently

They are prolly JJ E83CC tubes.

 

[Hi-FiGuy]

JJ makes frame grid ECC83/12AX7, ECC82/12AU7, ECC81/12AT7.

 

[Mr Boochie]

Whoops! I meant ECC81.
