These preamp tubes really brought the Monoprice 15 watt amp into a territory that only higher-priced amps occupy
Excellent service, fast shipping! Thank you
Not only is this tube a ‘night and day’ difference to the Chinese clone which I was using, but also the amazing service, communication, packaging and ultra swift postage of Antique Electronic Supply, is exemplary. Brilliant in all respects.
Great sounding tube
Great sounding tube
as predicted - excellent bass to treble response
Tested on commercial tester and one 12ax7 Tung-Sol was weak and one tested good.
Both still worked in amp just one weaker than the other.
My go-to 12AX7 new production tube for all of my builds, upgrades and repairs. V1, no problem, and the tone, in my opinion is excellent. A long-lived tube as well. Have seen them in the PI spot in some very exclusive amps, but I prefer the Sovtek 12AX7LPS (or the new Mullard).
This tube is awesome in my Marshall TSL602 in the V1 position. Does every channel very well. While it doesn't clean up as much on the clean channel as the Mullard reissue I've used in the past it does have a natural crunch to it. I was able to back off the preamp levels on all channels and get great tone, which is not easy on a TSL. JJ's and China tubes sound ok but the Tung-Sol reissues are great, I just hope they last longer than the Mullard reissues. I got less than a year out of the Mullard, hopefully that's just a fluke.
I tried some JJ 12AX7s, but I won't call them my favorites. They're good sounding tubes, but don't sound the best for my amps (Bugera 22 and a Trace Elliot SpeedTwin C50). They sound good in my amps, but the sound is probably best described as warm and round. I think that tube selection is like microphone selection: if you have a harsh source, choose a soft mic and vice versa so as to complement the source. So, for my amps (at least to my sound taste) I need pre-amp tubes with a little more bite. I chose Tung Sols.
