Just curious if anyone would have a rough idea of how to rank the importance of the tubes used in my system.
My preamp is an MG-Head OTL32 with 2 x 12au7 (RCA clear tops), 4 x EL84 (JJ), and a 5Y3 (some random old Silvertone)
My Rogue 88 power amp has 4 x 12au7 (JAN philips 5814a), 2 x 12ax7 (RCA 7025) and 4 x KT88 (Electro Harmonix)
I'm guessing that the 12au7 in my preamp probably influence the sound the most and the 5Y3 has the least effect. But for the ranks of everything in between I'm not entirely for sure.
Any ideas?
