Where's the thread for ok cathode follower preamp tubes?

Resonant Alien · Mar 5, 2012

I remember a thread that listed several preamp tubes (other than the Boogie Chinese/JJ) that were OK to use in the cathode follower positions. I've searched but can't locate it - does anyone happen to have it bookmarked??

Thanks!

Here you go. The info is a few years old (2008) but you'll get the idea.

It looks like most of New Sensor Corp's current tubes fail in cathode follower use (Sovtek, Electro-Harmonix, & Tung-Sol RI are confirmed failures, not sure how their Mullard RI holds up).

Just avoid anything Russian. Even the standard Chinese ones are fine, you don't have to use something expensive - although all old-production types are OK as well.
