RE: Buy tubes from the right vendor that meets your needs because they do sound different.

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.
