I got a batch of new production PSVANE 12AX7's and had them tested and measured before shipping. They have worked out really well. Better than the Tung Sol's I used to get which were hit and miss. Tubes can be bad or fail quickly, I've had power tubes in new amps just be unusable. All sorts of weird noise and crackle whatnot. You can spend a ton on special 12XAX7's with gold, etc, but I am not sure at the end of the day if all that really makes for an audible or performance difference. I do believe in higher quality power tubes as they do seem to make a difference.
