Yes, 1600.00 for ECC803S is over the top. One of my favorite 12AX7 types is the 7058. They are a mobile 12AX7 without the center tap, so you can't run them in a 6.3 volt application. All of them were made by RCA, and they sound great, with a low noise floor. They are quite a bit better than any current production tube.I like 12V power tubes because they are usually cheaper than the 6 volt versions. Tubes such as the 1625/6883B are not at all expensive, and are good quality.
