RE: Mesa Engineering & Ruby Tubes ...good for audio ?

IME, most quality output tubes will sound good in either guitar or hi-fi amps. The best 12AX7 gain stage tubes that I've used are the BP Raytheon 12AX7A or 5751. RCA 7025. TFK ECC83. Valvo E83CC. Tesla ECC803S. Similar desired bottles for hi-fi use.


Best rectifiers = Mullard GZ34. GE or Sylvania 5AR4. Tungsol 5U4GB.

Best 12AT7 = Valvo or Siemens E81CC. US made NOS 12AT7WA (6201).

Best 6V6GT = Raytheon JAN-CRP 6V6GTY. RCA gray glass BP 6V6GT. Tungsol 6V6GTA. Sylvania VT-107A.

Best 5Y3GT = Bendix 6106. GE 6087. GE, Ken-Rad BP 5Y3GT.

Notice the pattern?
