Bobgates is right. If you want to tailor the sound, get the best NOS 12AT7 you can afford or have a knowledgable technician change the resistors so that the circuit is optimized for a 12AX7 if you really want to go that route.
12AX7 vs 12AT7
Hey folks,
Just wanted the opinion of a few experts here. What are your thoughts on replacing a 12AT7 input tube with a 12AX7? I know there is different plate voltage and the AT has less gain. I recall one of the Cary amps that actually states it can be done. Is it worth trying or should one take a close look at the schematics first?
thanks in advance!
