12AX7A Replacement Question
I have a mic preamp that uses one 12AX7A tube. Everything else is
solidstate. Since i'm only using this preamp for speech, are there substitute/clone/replacement tubes that i should consider? Would the country of origin of the tube matter? I do not want to modify the preamp. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4231 (20090710) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com |

Would the country of origin of the tube matter? I do not want to modify the preamp. Has the tube failed? A preamp is a very benign environment for a valve and I would expect it to just go on and on. However, if the preamp has been designed well, it should make no difference exactly which valve you use. d |

The make and model of the preamp is an "ART-StudioV3" Actual name: ART Tube MP Studio V3. It's a cheap solid state mic preamp with a cheap tube-based distortion and noise enhancement circuit. Definate newbie-bait. Not worth the trouble to discuss. |

I expect the 12AX7A is just a selected 12AX7 ( possibly for optimum noise ). Just shove a 12AX7 / ECC83 in there. Oh, there's a high spec ECC83 too. It's the E83CC IIRC. Another possible.

A bit like Bose but maybe not quite as bad. Graham -- due to the hugely increased level of spam please make the obvious adjustment to my email address |

Funnily enough, Irish Whiskey doesn't seem to act the same way. Buy me a Jamesons ! Graham -- due to the hugely increased level of spam please make the obvious adjustment to my email address |
