Replasment for Mullard Long Plates?

Wolf -do yourself a favor and check out Audio Asylum Tube Asylum and do a search for the Gold Lion (Russian/re-issue/current production0 12AX7. Or you can just call Jim McShane who sells a lot of the GL tubes about them. He is a very striaght shooter. He has a website as well that you can do an internet search for. My understanding is that the GL 12AX7 is somewhat warm, sounds very good, is well made, and on the expensive side. That last sentence was 22 words is that enough?

NO...I need more. But I might actually do that. Thanks.

Hey Wolf. Save yourself the aggravation of the AA Tube Asylum Reissue Gold Lion 12AX7 thread. One look at all the posts gave me a headache. Give Jim McShane an e-mail or a call first. He is definitely a straight shooter and was nice when I asked him about 12AX7s and my Jolida 502P.

Ya know...I have the same reaction to that site. I've been there before and really its format just blows chunks. Is that because people actually like the style or its just been that way for a long time and it's comfortable somehow? In any case, although I may talk to Jim McShane, I'd still like more opinions from people here since I'd rather be here than there.

Buy my Philps Holland 12ax7 tubes,on sale here at agon, used them on a VTL 5.5 pre-amp..........maybe i should not of asked this am i breaking any rules.......?
