Has anyone tried Tung- Sol 12AX7's in the Ecstasy Classic? If so what was the result, better worse more aggressive etc...? Any comments for those who have tried these would be great.
Thanks

To add I put them in an Soldano SLO and it made it even more aggressive in a really good way.
 
Ive always done the NOS in my XTC except for the V3 and V4..
 
i've tried Tung-Sol reissues in my 101B (i know, not quite the same), one at a time in v1, v2, and v3. they were overly bright for me, sharp and too edgy, especially in v1 and v2.

i do really like them in v6, the position dedicated to the clean channel, and in my Uber in whatever position is dedicated to its clean channel. i like a slightly "pushed" clean sound, and i think it does that great.
 
I'm a fan of TS pre's. I also REALLY like the following set up's and applications:

TAD7025S in the 1st stage and clean channel sockets
Shuguang 12AX7B's or TAD12AX7 Premium (same tube) in the gainier sockets
Tung Sol in the gainier sockets

Peace,
V.
