2a3 Tube Question


I'm considering a Cary 2a3 amp. Can I roll ANY RCA tube? I throught I remembered reading something about some of the older RCA Single or Mono plates being incompatible but I can't recall the technical reasons.

Thanx.

PS Besides the RCA, any other recommendations? thanx

As said, EML-2A3 tubes have reliability issues. My pair didn't last a year. Then adding insult to injury the worldwide EML distributor weaseled around EML's 1-year warranty. I bought them about a year ago so they were relatively new production too. I am even out my return shipping to Germany.
