Good tube reccomendation for the spacexpander?

Post by Neil C » Fri Jul 14, 2006 12:05 am

The Spacexpander has the tube model codes printed next to the 3 tubes. <BR>There are two ecc83/12ax7 tubes. ecc83 and 12ax7 are just 2 different names for the same thing. 12ax7 is the more commonly used designation. <BR> <BR>There is one 7247. <BR> <BR>I got my tubes &#40;or valves as they are more commonly known in the UK&#41; from Watford Valves in the UK &#40;I'm in the UK&#41;. I can recommend them, and the guy there was very helpful with my questions. <a href="http://www.watfordvalves.com/home.asp" target="_blank">http://www.watfordvalves.com/home.asp</a> <BR> <BR>Watford valves list 18 different 12ax7 tubes - but have a description of each one. I think I went for the £8 Sovtek ones. The 7247 is less common with a choice of 2 on Watford Valves. <BR> <BR>There are of course other tube sellers.
