I haven't had a chance to do any extended listening using this tube, but based on a few hours with it in my headphone amp I'm quite pleased with it. This particular tube is widely regarded as one of the best of vintage NOS 12AX7 tubes, and while it's very good I am not sure yet that it's a "good value". Time will tell...

I have a few Amperex from this time period, from Holland, but this is the first long plate. I have always hesitated due to fifty percent, or more price differentials. The tube breaks up later, seems to have a bit more "refined" highs going on but it is an amazing tube. Crystal clear when you like, quiet with smooth break up. Under heavy distortion there is more clarity than a short plate. It is very musical and harmonics are rich. It was worth my investment. Tube arrived well packaged, just as described and arrived quickly. Great and knowledgeable seller.

I bought this for my ART Pro VLA (original USA model). My goal was to swap out the crappy GE 12AT7WA tubes that somebody had stuck in there (I bought it used). The Bugle Boy is in channel 2, and I stuck a Telefunken ribbed plate in channel 1. The Bugle Boy sound better with a hotter signal to my ears.

These tubes sound great! Even better than the NOS Sylvania silvertone I already had in my Fender Deluxe VM. I can't wait to try them in my Marshall!
