Just picked up three ART Dual Levelar Compressor/Limiters (the single space rack mount units) There are currently Sovetek 12ax7 WA tubes in one, if not all three of them.
(I believe these units shipped with Ruby Tubes, when new.)
Any thoughts or ideas for replacing (or keeping) the Sovteks that are in there now?
Application; General home recording, Analog Soundcraft to Tascam 24 bit hard disc.
Vocals, Drums, (Sound module and live) Elec Guitars, and probably final mix as well.
As for the ART Pro VLA Compressor, I have one, and haven't popped it open yet, but any thoughts on tube swapping on this unit?
Also; I forget now how it works; Do tubes in use this way become weak, over time or am I thinking of main amplifier tubes? I never can remember the technical rules of thumb in relation to tube life. Thanks all. Dan, Marina, CA
