Wow, didn't expect so much bad news re tung sol tube. There seems to be some positive opinions around (like at tedwebers') so now I'm feeling a little confused. Life is interesting! Thanx peoples.

Anyone tried the Tung Sol 12AX7 reissue preamp tubes in a Triaxis. Just curious. Thanx

Yeh, the best part of $1,000. So now you know why I want to find a tech in Australia!!!

I'd have to arrange a web cam. Maybe I should PM you?

Thank's again fatboy135. I just need to find someone in Australia who is up to it.

Thank you for the reply fatboy135. My Tiaxis is V2 NON-PHAT model. It's about 10 years old. Trust me, it's not a tube problem. They have all been relaced a couple of times and the problem remains.

All LD11 modes (G,Y,R) change over 10 minutes and become thin and a lot less over-driven. They become so trebly (and less mids) that setting the treble and presence controls on 0 (zero) still wont correct the tonal balance. They also lose most of the gain and sound much cleaner. If I select...

Anyone know of a good tech who would be capable of repairing/servicing a Triaxis in Australia. Someone who actually knows their stuff.

G'day there Cayce I've got a triaxis that is about the same age as yours. Mine has got all sorts of problems. Not the same problems as you mention though. The best advice I could give is to find the best tech you can or send it back to Boogie.

Thanks for the info Mr. Wolf. Yes my Triaxis only seems to have this problem in LD11 as well. I did actually give the preamp to the local techs for repair. These guys are the importers/retailers/repairers for Mesa/Boogie in Australia. They couldn't find a problem! They suggested I might like to...

G'day mcmanus I'm pretty certain it's the Triaxis. Maybe there is a combination thing going on. I noticed that when the Triaxis got thin (and I mean very thin) simply unplugging the signal cable between the Triaxis and the 2:90 restored all the mids. Then over about 5 minutes... thin again...

The 2:90 has three 12ax7 inside. They stand upright. A couple of screws later and you in! Just don't touch anything except the tubes. Hey mcmanus (c++), let us know what you think of the Mullard 12AT7WA (M8162/CV4024). Reality check for myself. I think I will have to acquire a little stash...

I'm using just one Mullard 12at7 in pos 2. I haven't tried it elsewhere yet. Having just one in this position does wonders.

Ok, I tried out the JJ803s over the last couple of days. Comparison is between Mullard 12AT7WA (M8162/CV4024) and JJ ECC803s (apples and oranges anyone?) in Pos 2 of Triaxis. Guitar is Zion (strat stlye guitar) with Seymour Duncan JB (full humbucker) in bridge. Power amp is simul 2:90...

G'day T I think we need to get you deliberations up on a web site somewhere. You have too much knowledge to leave it just hanging around in the nebulous and fragmented forum space. I'll host it if you want. Let me know. I think I'll need to talk to you about speakers again in the not too...

G'day mcmanus Ok you got me I'm an Australian. Sorry, no sound clips at the moment. My Triaxis needs servicing - noisy resister or somesuch... Sound clips are definitely on my list of things to do. I note that you have a taste for GAIN. I also note that you mentioned getting a full set of JJ...

OOPS That should have read Mullard 12at7 in position 2. Doh!

Timbre Wolf you are a legend. I see you are still busy "evangelising". I'm still smiling over the Mullard 12AT7 in pos 1 in my Triaxis. Can't thank you enough. Rob
