General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

I had been using the Pavane 12AX7's.....

in my Aesthetix Calypso. They were dead quiet and sounded great. Very balanced sound. I really loved them and quickly ordered two more pair.

After about 60 days the first pair I bought started getting noisy. The tube rush which had been virtually non existant became very audible at the listening position. So I pop in another new pair. Once again dead quiet. But after about 30 days this pair became noisy.

So I have gone back to my old standby The Mullard Reissues. These tubes don't sound quite as good as the Pavanes but they stay dead quiet.

I'll be curious to see if anyone else experiences this with the Pavanes,especially with Aesthetix gear. The Aesthetix Calypso & Rhea are very sensitive to noisy tubes.
