[QUOTE="Nightdare, post: 146158, member: 1840"] Decided to buy a few more tubes to experiment in V1 positions Bought: EH 12ax7, Mullard 12ax7. Tung Sol 12ax7 Shuguan, JJ 12ax7 - all high gain selected EH 12at7 and ay7 For the moment I ended up with Blackface: EH 12ay7 MashOldano: Mullard Angel: Tung Sol (still have 3 other preamps , but the RM4 is the easiest to work with) I did plunk in a Philips JAN 12at7 in the V1 of my RM4 since I had gain to spare on the modules Compared to a high gain tube there, removed some compression which remained present even with a 12at7 in a high gain module (I have tried 12at7 V1 with non HG-selected tubes in the modules before, which did not give me a desired result) I'm gonna be swapping that Mullard around a while, since it's a 'new' tube to me already familiar with the other brands currently I think it's character falls a bit between JJ and Tung Sol but for now there are still so many roads to travel Wondering mostly what the tubes can do to my Hafler Triple Giant (3 dedicated channels of which the lead could use some more mids and less highs and the rhythm could use some more gain) [/QUOTE]
