| Rogue Audio Cronus 12AU7-12AX7 tubes choices Try some Telefuken 12ax7 smooth plates, or Mullard 12ax7. A little pricey but good tubes. I use them in my VTL 5.5 tube pre amp. 2 Tele 12ax7, and 4 Mullard 12at7. | |

| Help with VTL TL 5.5 Preamp Forget the 12au7, try some 5751 tubes in place of the 12ax7, lower gain, maybe you will like them. I own the same pre, use 2 12ax7 Telefunken Smooth Plates and 4 Mullard 12at7 from Upscale Audio. Call him, Kevin Deal, he may know of a tube that ca... | |
