tube fanatic Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 It is not possible to make such a recommendation. A particular tube will likely sound different in every piece of equipment in which it is used because of differences in operating parameters. Personally, I don’t believe in tube rolling but, if it’s important to you, you need to buy a number of different types and evaluate them yourself in your piece of equipment.

NOSValves Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Any vintage Mullard or Amperex is about as fool proof as it comes! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Landau Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 The Sylvania JHS 12AX7 is very warm sounding. There is a 12AX7WA version which is quite thin sounding so do not confuse between the two as they look exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyErnie Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Mullard. I had some branded as IEC. Tried them in a tube microphone, very 'pipe & slippers' warm. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
