There have been several threads were people were asking about preamp tube advice. I sent them here and received really good feedback.

Tick...tick...tick...

That's a bummer. I still haven't heard back from them either. I know that there are lots of us who would love to buy a quality European or American made tube.

Yeah... I wish it was that simple. But alas... I did verify the model of YJ before making my purchase with both The Tube Store and with THD via email. No doubt about it, these are supposed to work with my amp.

I put new power tubes in and biased. And have been rolling various different tubes to experiment with tone for a while now. For me, unfortunately, the YJ's just didn't last.

I thought about trying the tone bones, but in the end... Since I already had store credit w/ The tube store, elected to just get more tubes so I have a variety to work with.

Holy Hannah there are a LOT of tubes here to try out now! My missus better keep me on a short leash or I'll likely disappear for a solid month as I try to run through these!
