What are we going to do about Tele 12AU7 prices

Mozartfan call Brent Jesse and ask about Mazda tubes. Made for the French Military. The 12AU7 silver plate is similar to Tekefunkens extended top end. The 6189 is similar but a little on the warmer side.

Just a guess but I think you would like the Silver plate if you favor the Telefunken sound.

Please explain this to me. In a hobby where interconnect cables and speaker cables cost thousands of dollars someone is complaining about tubes that cost $120?

Try Psvane from vivatubes.

I had Psvane 12AX7's. = trash next to a  Tele

Hello,
No offense. You are definitely an audiophile. I usually say “buy once, cry once.” That is not the case with tubes.
