Re: Preamp Tubes? - Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How?

The numbers refer to what "generation" the tube is. Right now the 9th generation Chinese tube is the best they have to offer. 6, 7 and 8 are still currently being sold as many of these are relabeled by Ruby, Mesa and Groove Tubes.

Right now Tung-Sol is having failure problems in certain amps due to plate voltage exceeding what the tube can handle.
