The Tung-Sol 12AX7 Tubes has the gain and drive of a Chinese 12AX7 and the pure tone of a Mullard or Brimar from the U.K.
This tube can hang with premium NOS tubes but costs a fraction of the price.
Without a doubt this is why it's been a top-seller for over 5 years running!
The Tungsol 12AX7 Tubes has a heavy glass bottle and short welded plates. Both helps reduce microphonics and noise floor.
This tube has nickel plated pins and a large halo getter.
One other note about the construction of these 12AX7 Tubes is that their filaments are almost completely encased.
They won't "light up" as bright as some other tubes.
This is not a problem, it's normal for this tube.
