What Dave said is almost the perfect tube compliment for all his amps, or atleast it's the best for reliability which is most important for amp designers. Except I never liked the darker JJ in input stage V1.RACKSYSTEMS":1mcge1uv said:Jj V1 and Chinese in the rest

I know you asked about the stock tubes but think about giving a Tung-Sol 12ax7 a try. Low microphonics, very rugged solid tube. I'm surprised Dave doesn't use this tube as his main V1 for everything. Also a good well tested Chinese 12ax7B like Ruby AC5+'s or TAD's.
I have heard this before about the Tung Sols. I think I first heard it on the Marshall JVM Forum a long time ago. I guess I have just been lucky so far with the few Tung Sol 12ax7's I have bought and used in my amps........ One will probably die on me the next time I am playing in front of a big crowd.RACKSYSTEMS":3lod6e3z said:Adambomb":3lod6e3z said:What Dave said is almost the perfect tube compliment for all his amps, or atleast it's the best for reliability which is most important for amp designers.

I have in the past and like them but I can’t get enough low microphonic ones to use without tons of waste. Can’t use them anywhere else as they fail in cathode followers and such.
