    Default My latest tube quest

    Buying NOS tubes on Ebay can be a craspshoot, but I took a chance and placed a bid on a quad of RCA 12AX7As (gray plates). Of course I have no idea on how long they’ll last, but they all sound great for now. Considering what these things are going for these days, I think a snagged a pretty good deal for $53. Heck, if I get good mileage with just one them, it’s worth it.

    So, when I’m shooting for a vintage vibe, the overdrive channel sounds so sweet with:

    V1-RCA 12AX7A
    V2-JAN GE 12AX7 WA
    V3-JAN PHILIPS 5751
    V4-SOVTEK LP
    V5-PENTA CHINESE

    You got some gems there Radioboy950: I sure wish my dad kept all his tubes from his stereo equipment way back when.
