Sorry for all these posts... I am just trying to make sense out of a variety of interrelated subjects...
In any case, I am confused by terminology that people on here use for tubes. I see people refer to V1 as low microphonic highgrade. When I go to a site like dougstubes or tubedepot, I don't see any 12AX7s described in this way.
The other thing I am trying to understand is which tubes effect tone. I see a lot of people experimenting with V1-V3 but sticking with stock in the other positions.
Also, Peter says many tubes he gets are thrown away because of reliability issues. How is a non tube technical person like myself supposed to know if there is an issue with the tubes I buy?
Man I am getting a headache from thinking about all this...
later,
brian
