Re: JJ Gold Pin 12 ax7
There are two different 12Ax7's JJ offers. One is the ECC803s and the other is the ECC83s. They have gold pin versions of both.
The ECC803s has the longest plate ever made in a tube, and is supposed to be more noise resistant, but they are consistantly microphonic. Tung Sol also makes a version of the ECC803s The ECC803s was a Telefunken tube. Never heard one, but I think if you were to find a new one they get about $700 for one on Ebay. There is mixed feelings about both JJ 12AX7's if you Google it. Most say the Tung Sol is better.
