Western Electric 12AX7 coming this summer.

6SN7 were supposed to be released  last September or October. Put on hold indefinitely for some reason. I was really looking forward to a pair.

So curious as to cost.  Will folks pay $300 for a 12ax7? 

I just bought some Telefunken smooth plates for $260 a pair.  He’ll have to beat those numbers and sound quality.  At least until the NOS tubes totally dry up.

There was a link posted elsewhere that said they bought the actual Mullard Blackburn tooling for the 12AX7, so if accurate they should be identical to those. NOS tubes. I’ll post the link if I can find it again. 

Love to hear what these tubes sound like. @shawn3997 wow, you bought at the height end of the market on those!
