I find the fascination of boutique parts amusing. In the case of vintage tubes, using them is a guarantee that one day you will never be able to replace them. In my world, I want to optimize with „sensible“ parts, maybe even stockpile some extra tubes. I have never thought of a 12AX7 to be a great output tube, simply because of its high impedance (and thus sensitivity to loading/cables).
I really wonder how often the „rest“ of the system including source and setup is „good enough“...Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
