Suggestion for a tube line up in the linestage of my Sherwood

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

My Sherwood S-5000 uses three line stage tubes. And I have some VERY nice tubes to choose from. Would a particular order offer more or less benefits?

I always read how some tube is better for phase splitting, etc.... Any beneficial order for positions V3,V4,V5.

My tubes are:
(3) TungSol 12AX7
(3) RCA black plate vintage 12AX7
(1) Genalex 12AX7 that I haven't tried yet.

The only limitation is V5 tends to hum if I don't use the RCA or the new Genalex (I have not tried yet but it is ear marked for that position).

thanks
Charles

As you might recall 12AX7s are not good as driver/splitters - Timbo in Oz 18:33:01 07/07/15 (0)
