[QUOTE="speedemon, post: 67691, member: 2478"] My $.02, I have had the Randall about a month, it was all JJs and every time I replace a JJ 12ax7 it gets better. But then I didnt' like the JJ in my other amps either. I put a 5751 in the PI and a Mullard reissue in V1, the George Lynch clean module went from "crap" to "useable", and the overall tone improved to my ears. I put a Tung Sol I had into the XTC, and it helped some, but still a little muddy. I didn't expect the amp to be so sensitive to preamp tubes. I too have found that for under $15, you don't get significant variance from 12ax7s. My favorite "cheap" 12ax7 was the Sovtek. I concur that different tubes are going to perform differently with diff modules, and the tube should suit the sound you are going for. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
