Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Based on my experience

Most current production tubes are not of the same quality NOS tubes. This is especially true with small signal tubes. None of the current 12AX7's hold a candle to the NOS types. I've provided NOS 12AX7's to gutiar guys, and they all were amazed with the difference in sound.

I'll agree about the re-issue KT-88's, as they are pretty good. My amps use 1625 output tubes, which I find are one of audio's better kept secrets. They are a 6L6 with better power handling requirements. Very well made, high quality, and not expensive.
