Happy February everyone. This month I went through an number of 12AX7s from my private reserve (rectangular tupperware thingy with dividers) and came up with a combo that sounds very good and even looks good on paper.
V1 Mullard 12ax7 - Need I say more
V2 Phillips Labled Mullard
V3 Telefunken Smooth Plate 12ax7 Phase Inverter slot
The sound is raw with lots of mids but has a certain crispsness and attack that I like. I'll post clips tommrow when I get a chance.
P.S. I have a pair of Amperex EL84's in there. They just beat out the Sylvania black plates for the tone I was looking for.

Looking forward to those clips man. I have been hooked on the following setup with my SIII.
V1 Mullard 12AX7
V2 Amperex- Holland 12AX7
V3 JAN Sylvania 12AX7
Man what a sound. I really dig what the JAN does in the PI. The Polam EL84's add some kick to it as well. Stashed me a few of them puppies.
