Hello fellas! Hopefully this will be fun! 2 questions:
1) Penta 12AX7A. I know of the Chinese version. But I just ran into a few Penta Labs 12AX7As that are 'made in Russia.' Anybody know who makes these? Any good?
2) Onto the fun stuff! I have some preamp tubes to try out in my Blue-Stripe revision Mk. III (simul/eq/'verb) and would LOVE your input. So - with this amp and the following tubes - what would you put where?!
- 3 High-gain JJ ECC83S
- 2 JJ ECC83S
- 2 JJ ECC81
- 3 Penta Labs 12AX7A (Made in Russia)
- 2 Shuguang 12AX7 9th gen.
- 3 Sovtek 12AX7 WA
- 2 RFT ECC83
Also - how do you feel about a 'balanced' PI?
Let 'er rip!
