general impressions of RCA brand tubes

Post by paulschnettler »

I just scored a 5 pack of RCA 12AX7A's as well as a motorola one as well. I was wondering what the general impression of these particular brands was?
The motorola appears to be a long plate and the RCA's are shorties.
Thanks,
Schnauzer

Depending on what you paid, these are really sought after and great
tubes. They go for good money too.
If you got a good deal you realy scored and will be happy with
there sound.

Thanks for the info. While articles are good for general knowledge, I was looking for a more "mine sound like this" discussion.
I lucked out and was given these tubes. So I'm not complaining!
I'll swap out the GT's and see how they sound... The ones I have look like the $100 matched pair ones on e-bay, WOW, didn't expect that kind of a freebee!
