RE: Sovtek 12AX7LPS

Define better, please. Properly culled specimens of the 'LPS are clean, quiet, and reasonably priced. What's not to like?

As 12AX7s run at plate currents in the 900 μA. to 1 mA. range, heat is, most definitely, a non-issue. Refer to TFK "smoothplates" with over 20 years of use still testing good. Tube coolers combined with 12AX7s strikes me as bullshit.
