Preamp tube with the lease amount of highs

[hanson2713]

Hey, Im looking for the 12ax7 with the lease amount of highs or shrillness. Which tubes should I be looking at?

Thanks

are you looking for a 6 month lease or longer?

cause I dont know how long you will want to stay.

dont mind a six monther, but id like some more reliable options too. ill probably try both. anyone try the GT-12ax7-C ?

JJ ECC803S are nice, fair bit of gain but they seem pretty smooth to me. JJ stuff is usually consistent and reliable, too, so that's a bonus.

RFT ECC83's....JJ's also..

Sovtek 7025/12ax7WA. Very rolled off top end, I have used them to tame a couple of "ice picky" combos I was selling. Gets those highs right outta there. Pretty reliable too. Plenty of them on ebay, don't pay too much.
