I concur with your thoughts on Sylvania 12AT7s. ( these were gold brands from 60's) they were too warmish for my tiny triodes. I won't go as far as saying 'bass sucked' but, it could have been tighter. if you could fine the GEC A2900 ( 12AT7 equialants ) these, so far the best in terms of bass reposnse and treble extension. ( not sure how much they go for since these were given to me as a gift )
Penta, also aren't the best of the lot as far as treble extension goes.
Originally posted by AdamZuf from my Sylvania 12AT7, which was a total lame on bass, but i still don't know if it was defected. i would like to see how i can evolve this technique with a tube that does have a good bass & perform well. right now i'm using the a Penta 12AX7 (i got it with my ART, i understand this tube sucks), and the highs started to piss me off bad after a few days. |
