In Reply to: Opinions: Vintage Tung-Sol 12AX7 Made in USA? posted by audiophile121 on April 23, 2006 at 10:35:22:
While the new power tubes have come a long way in matching and many times passing the vintage tubes in sound,the peanut tubes still are off the mark a bit..My favorite are the telefunken 12ax7a whether they they smooth or ribbed plate and the RCA black plates from the 50s.I also like the GEs and the 5751s...To be honest you can buy nos vintage 12xa7s pretty reasonable on ebay or at least strong testing ones for not much money.I think its worth the difference and being preamp tubes arent run very hard,they stay strong a long time.
