I just got my new rm100c and it came with a plexi module. Which I already had. So I started playing with it and I immediatly noticed a big difference between these two. I looked and it turned out that my old plexi has Electro Harmonix tubes and the new plexi has the stock jj ecc83s in it. So I put both modules in and dialed them the exact same way and the plexi with the EH's in it sounded a million times better. Clearer, gainier, more articulate. The JJ's sounded like there was a blanket over the speakers compared to the EHs.
I never realized there was that big of a difference between these tubes. I was looking at the JJs and they have a newer 12ax7 tube, the ecc803s which is supposed to have more mids and highs. Maybe this would be a contender with the EHs. I also heard alot of good things about the tung sols. I just know that the rest of my modules that have the JJs are going to be changed shortly.
