Buying Tubes Again; Maddening


Has anyone tried the new production Genalex 'Gold Lion' 12AX7's and 12AT7's? I've been using the pricey Sophia Electric's but they just don't last long enough in my Hovland HP-100 phono-stage to justify the cost (they do sound pretty good though)...

I've recently begun using some of the Psvane 12AX7s, which are about the same price as the Genalex 12ax7, despite the fact that their EL84 is twice the price of a Genalex EL84. Anyway, my initial impressions are quite positive indeed, although I'm still in the first 100 hours of burn-in. About to drop in a pair of Psvane 12AU7s...
Sounds like an excellent plan - will be very curious to see how the Psvanes stack up again's Jim's recommendations.
