Remember, you may not thank me for this.
If you have not already done, it would be useful to use the search function on this forum and
read some of the hundreds of relevant posts-or however many you can read before you burn out.Here are some things I think might help. I have come to believe:
Hypothetically, one could make a list, a rating hierarchy of 12AU7 tubes that will perform well in audio applications.
We don't know precisely what the content of that list is, and we will only ever have a general idea.
An individual's gear and taste will cause tubes to be valued differently, sometimes very differently.
There will not be much difference between tubes that are closely situated on that hierarchy.
Some of the tubes are extinct, or can be considered so for practical reasons.
* One needs to know when to stop looking.I spent lots of $ and time sifting through seven or eight decades worth of 12AU7 tubes.
It has been a very long time since I have closed the lid on those boxes.
Let me pull my buried treasure out the basement and I'll see what I have.
I will take some pictures and describe. Be patient.In the meantime, enjoy your music, and your new GE tubes.
