>>How long do you suspect the 12SX7's will last?.

I really have no idea how long they will last. I'm as far from an expert in tubes as there is.

>>I only have a dozen. How many spares should I keep around?.

Beat's me. All I know is it's important to have a full compliment of well matched, good driver tubes in your amps.

>>Which are the better 12SX7's you have tried?.

I have only tried the RCA's that Mark Gilmore picked up for me. I don't know if there are better out there, or if there are any other kinds for that matter.

>>Any and all information would be appreciated.

Well, its nice to know what little I could provide in the way of information is appreciated :-) To be honest, I'd just get some RCA's that are good, and a few spares that are good, and keep an eye on the ones that are in your amps. If ASOG was up I know there is a post or two about where you can get NOS 12SX7s. I'd like to get some more since I discovered that all of my spares are useless. Maybe whoever has the ASOG archive can do a quick search and let us know what tube supplier(s) was recommened.
