Anyone using this board?
If so would you care to share your opinions and observations?
It says in their info on their website that you can use tubes with 7BK or 7CM base. Can you also use the 7BD base tubes since pins 2 and 7 on the circuit board are joined together?

Amazing I am the only person on this forum to have purchased this board
After posting on the diyaudio forum I got an answer to what tube bases can be used in addition to the 6AU6 input tube. Not a problem using 7BK,7CM, or 7BD bases just in case someone else here purchases this board.
Thanks for all the input people.

I built and installed one over 10 years ago, and still use it in my ST-70,
in fact, the picture on the Triode web site used to be of my amp, now
just the MK-III is mine and the diytube ST-35 in ste SS chassis.
Anyway ... I didn't reply because I haven't messed with it in over
10 years ... what can I say except it works and sounds good.

Its not too bad a sounding board when put together with some good parts. I actually like the sound and feel it is on tap with my Mapletree board. The nice thing is it allows for rolling in different input tubes and the differences are amazing. It is a lot cheaper than the hand made hand wired board from Mapletree. It sounds clearer and cleaner than the VTA board I had too.
