@inna That’s a bummer. I’ve used scores of different ax7 tubes and these are the best to these ears. Anyhow, I’m not sure why you’re fizzling around with Mullards and their recessed highs and dull warmth, and RCA black plates with their constricted and strident upper mids when you can get Telefunkens which are neutral, open, transparent, and detailed.
12AX7 tubes for the phono stage of VAC Avatar SE integrated.
What would you choose ? Say, up to $500 for a NOS closely matched pair ?
Currently have Brimar military and don't like them. They are primitive and have recessed midrange.
I have Mullard long plates from 50s in the line preamp, RCA black plates from 50s in the driver and Mullard XF2 power tubes.
I was thinking same Mullard or RCA black plates but there might be something better to try.
