so, WHAT kind of tubes ARE safe to use in the preamp section.
im seeing all KINDS of tube ratings.
how do i know if they are safe to put in preamp sections of my amps?
say for instance/example ( but not specifically
6SA7GT
6SQ7
6SG7
6K6GT
my dad has some old tv and radio tubes too...how do i know?
or should i just stick with the standard recommendation of:
12AX7 - ECC83, 7025, ECC803, E83CC, 6681
12AT7 - ECC81, 6201, 6679
12AY7 - 6072
12AV7 - 5965
12AU7 - ECC82, 5963, 5814, 6189
: and not try anything other than those specifications.
i was told not to put anything less than a 12ay7 in my preamp positions of my tourmaster.
is it worth tracking down more tubes (im not interested in collecting, just experimenting to see what they sound like!!!).
thanks ahead of time.
