| Tubes for a pre stage... matched NEW or unmatched identical NOS? I'll take matched thanks... I say this confidently because I have a tube tester and have had some new tubes that many would consider "junk" With a tube like 12ax7 , the tube's performance has a lot to do with whether each triode section is c... | |
