Seems that I remember hearing somewhere that there is an octal replacement for the 12AX7. If so, I would like to consider try replacing the 8 12AX7's in my pre with the Octal replacements. Yes, I know, I will have to make 8 adapters.

If I am right though, what is the difference? Anyone done it?

What is the average cost for the replscement? I will assume that they are more expensive.

Regards,

Gene
