ZMF Pendant - Tube Headphone Amplifier - Official Thread

The “prof special” tubes for the Pendant are shown here.

@andris’s tubes (based on the prof specials) are detailed here.

I liked Zach’s NOS selection, but I’m not sure if he gave exactly the same tubes to everyone. I have:
Hammond EL84 power tubes (made by Amperex I think)
RFT EZ81 rectifier
Baldwin 12au7 yellow label (made by Raytheon) and as a backup, Baldwin green label (made by Sylvania).

I go back and forth between which 12au7 I prefer, and currently like the yellow Baldwin because it fills out the sound a little more than the green. But I’m also tube rolling 12au7’s right now, so I may end up with something I like more.
