anyone tried psvane 12at7

I recently had a Psvane 12AX7T-II die before it should have, so they're on my shitlist (I have new-ish Tung Sol 12AX7s and tubestore "preferreds" as backups so I can remain in the game). I bought a pair of Mullard CV 4024s recommended by "thetubestore" after a warranty covered NOS Phillips exploded. They work perfectly and reward you with the "mullard flash experience" every time you start up an amp...a bonus! Like he said, still seem like a bargain as far as NOS goes.

I was thinking of trying telefunken ecc81, problem is the preamp takes 8 12at7, so it would be a expensive experement.

Toothman, its the 2 tubes to the rear on the left side of each circuit board in the MP-1 that are the most important. So that would be 4 tubes instead of 8 if you just want to try them.

Hello,

I've been using a set of Psvane 12at7's in a MP-1 Mk ii and I find them to be detailed and neutral - currently have about 30 hours on a ZYX Universe II.

Prior to this I was using RCA black plates which I found to be a bit richer sounding but not as detailed. I had used those with a Shelter 901.

To me, the Psvane's don't get in the way of the recording as I consider these my "fall back tubes" as I try to compare to other tube types.
