Yep. In other amps, pre amps and DAC's. My favorite new production small tubes are EI's (6dj8's and 12AX7a's). Tele's on the cheap! The only caveat is QC - some can be microphonic - so only buy tubes tested for microphonics or be prepared to trash a few.
Ei Gold Elite Premium tubes& Music Reference Amp
I have a Music Reference RM-10 tube amp. Just a week ago I
decided to retube this amp. I looked around and decided
on Ei Gold Elite EL84's and 12AX7's. All have gold pins,
New new-stock. Dropped them in, let them burn a bit....WOW!
These, to me, are the real deal. You seem to get it all...
transparency, liquidity, nice bass slam, a real harmonic richness that would signal BIG BUCKS....at a cost of $65
for a matched quad of EL84, and $60 for a quad of 12AX7's.
For what its worth, they get a STRONG recommendation from me. Anyone else try these in other Music Ref or other amps?
Thanks!
