I am loking to get new tubes for my Marshall JCM2000 DSL401 combo. Its uses 12ax7 and EL84s.
I was looking into tubes from Mesa Engineering. They claim to have a special tube tester that can predict a tubes tonal charachterictics and lifetime and only ship the ones that match thier specs to elimate the need for re-biasing the amp whenever the tubes are changed.
Does anyone have experience purchasing Mesa tubes for non-mesa amps (I'm sure its not a problem) OR does anyone know a good place to get tubes or have suggestion for what brand of tubes to buy?
Mesa sells thier 12ax7 for about $10 each and their EL84s for $15 each - which appears to be a very good price.
Thanks
