RE: I know I have been tough on 12ax7 but.......

tvr and Bilbar:
Just to follow up--it appears you are right about my favorite 12ax7--the short plate with the 45 degree tilted getter. Despite the fact that they are marked made in Gt. Britain I now believe these tubes are Valvo made in the Hamburg plant in Germany. They do not "flash" like most Mullards and I do not believe Mullard ever made a tilted getter tube. A picture of the tubes I have can be seen on the tube classic website as coming from the Hamburg plant which specialized in these tilted getter tubes. An absolutely killer tube! Thanks for the assist guys.
