Home Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: I wouldn't have guessed that anyone would....

As you know, those are some really bad assumptions.

There are manufacturers that claim their power amps can use all the different beam power and power pentode tubes but that is nonsense.

If the amp is optimized for any one of those tubes, it will not be for the rest.

As for gain stage tubes. Pretty much the same thing. Even if you can plug a 12ua7 into a circuit designed for a 12ax7 without it blowing up it doesn't mean you should. Unless you don't care about distortion (or maybe you are looking for distortion?)
