Hi,

I have a T2 which currently has 3x 12AX7EH's in the preamp and 1x 12AT7JJ in the power section.

I was advised by one of the UK based tech's that do warranty work for Randall that Randall had changed their minds about the power tube and now recommend the the 12AT7 be replaced by a 12AX7 as they enter the UK.

Is this true? I'd like to try it, but the first T2 I got came with a 12AX7 in the power section and the mosfet was damaged. For my second one I ignored the tech's advise and stuck with a 12AT7 and have had no problems so far!

Further to my lack of belief that I can do this I have read elsewhere on the forum where someone replaced the 12AT7 with a 12AX7 in their G3 and the transformer blew which does not blow since I assume the G3 and T2/V2 series use similar power amp setups?

If someone could clarify what can actually be done with this that would be great!

Thanks,

Dan
