12x7 tubes


I own a black ice audio dac that is connected to my CD player.Need advice on what 12x7 would be the best fit looking at Tungsram 12x7 and a GE 12x7 1950 long plate.My taste of music is classic rock and blues.

Brent Jessee is a great source ,

Tubemonger is another one ,  I replaced 3 RCA black plate 5751's 

with " slovakian " 12ax7's ( ecc803s ) in my phono preamp , Love Them .

The gain of a 5751 is 70% of a 12ax7 but you don't hear 70% less ,

the difference is about 1.5 dbs or a notch on you volume control .
