I have some RCAs from the early 60's that are super quiet and sound fantastic....
They are labeled , etched 12ax7wa which I believe is a mil spec designation

Shuguang Treasure black 12AX7LS from Grant Fidelity. Better than Telefunkens and dead silent. I use them in my phono amp and beat everything I’ve tried over the years (and that is a lot of tubes!) |

I had a man on the inside at NASA maintenance in the 70s and 80s who provided me with a steady stream of Miltary grade 12AX7WA tubes, Sylvania and RCA, these are the quietest I.e., low noise 12AX7s I’ve tried although Telefunkens are not chopped liver. Even the low microphonic tubes, however, benefit from Herbies tube dampers. So, you’re never totally in the clear. |
