I would like to know

Would you still use the 12AX7 as a phono amp tube?

Only thing I can see as an advantage of the miniature tube would be structural stiffness due to the size of envelope and consequently the internal parts would be smaller. Of course, the larger size of the octals has long been given as the reason for their superior sonics.

I have four of those TECH TUBE 12AX7s - the one's that look nothing like any 12AX7 you have ever seen. Would your reasons apply to those, also?

SO how long do we have to wait before you tell your reasons?

Take care,
