Members docjeffrey Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 Brands that I won't use (for various reasons, mostly reliability) Ei (specifically Ei Gold series, but I'm gonna avoid all of them) Current Mullard branded tubes JJ/Tesla (a bit dull sounding for my Vox amps) JJ Gold (a bit too expensive) Anything over $15 per tube I'm looking for tubes Also, I am in need of some really toneful EL84's for my AC15TBX and my AC30TBX, a matched quartet and a matched pair. Finally, I would like to replace the GZ34 rectifier in my Orange AD15/12 with a solid state replacement. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate them. Thanks in advance!

Members Joby1knobi Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 +1 on the Tung Sols. I have them in a Marshall Vintage Modern and a JCM800... so at least I think they do the Marshall thing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xStonr Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 Gotta say the Tung Sols are very good for current production. I still on the search for some good sounding EL84's also that's not too pricey although I did recently buy 2 vintage Sylvania black plate EL84's for under $40 for the pair.

Members EADGBE Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 Sovtek 12AX7LPS. These tubes are great for rock! I had some Eis and they sounded anemic by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
