12AX7A and AT7 tubes

Tpsonic,
After telling you of these remarkablebtubes. Mind you not the absolute unamynous all time weorld best but a decent really cheap tube from the Sino conglomerate Shuguang, I can't souce them. So I ask where did you find them? To the original poster no other shu is worth your time it really must be their 12AX7C or 9th edition only. no more than $10 a tube. Mike Sanders of Quicksilver audio insisted that a new owner of the Triodes stick with the because he thought they great and voiced those amps using them. Our buddy Trelja was as skeptical as i a was which dictated extirpating the offensive terrible excuse for a real tube never mind a good one. It took quite a bit of convincing so just to make him stop harrsing me I said OK and paid 9 bucks for a pair of brand new 9th ed Sino branded Shuguang. And I would not be writing this novel if I wasn't floored by them. Shu has made more with the B or 8th for the biggest group of tube consumers the shreding electric guitar guys . It just didn't distort readily therefore useless for guitar and good for audio. Now they are gone.

Actuallly the price of a used pair of Blackburn Mullards, not re-issue, maybe a worthwhile experiment albeit expensive if the tubes are from a seller who will stand behind the product. The best current production is the Tung Sol either gold pin which many think is better than the steel pin. I like the steel pins just fine. However a warm expansive good condition real Mullard they are not. The Sinos have a bit of tipped up treble emphasis so you might not like it. Tpsonic I got mine for the same amountas you 2+ years back on epray and trelja gave me a pair or two. They don't burn in much do they! Doug is "out of stock" which is really a bad term he can't them anymore than the others. The reason is they were taken out of production.
