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)...

selecting a tube is a nuisance, because there is no substitute for listening to the tube. all of the suggestions will not help until you hear the affect of the tube.

stanwal:

what ss amp are you using and why ?

did you select your amp because it's interaction with your speakers provided a sound which was close to the performance of some tube amp? or did the speaker perform very differently after you inserted the ss amp ?
