RE: 12AT7-tubes for Preamp and Poweramp :JJ vs Telefunken NOS

Posted by krankkall on February 28, 2017 at 08:52:53:
NOS 12at7 tubes are still pretty cheap.
Much more so compared to 12ax7 tubes.
So why even bother with current production 12at7 tubes?
Find a reliable seller on flea-bay that specializes in tubes.
I've seen NOS GE 6201 triple mica black plates for under $15 with shipping.
German-made RFT ECC81 tubes for under $20 with shipping.

Good luck and good hunting!
