Has anyone replaced those?

Since my unit was made in 2005 I figure it nay be a good idea?

Thanks

Please disregard my ignorance of tube anything. Is there a such thing as having too many tubes in a vocal chain? What I mean is: tube LDC into a tube pre?

on stuff other than the hi fi audiophile gear, would these tubes be amazing sounding? ie. guitar/bass amps, preamps, dynamic processing.

6SN7 & 12SN7. any of you guys who build or tinker have any opinions?

I know the au,at & 6sn7 are lower gain than their counterparts.

Any thoughts on the way they sound?

Thanks

I'm trying to find some info on a groove tubes 5sm condenser mic. I'm picking up a lot of mics from a guy who closed down his studio and this mic is in the batch. i'm not familier with it at all and have know idea what it is worth. I set up all 9 mics and recorded some guitar. Haven't got to sit down and listen to it yet.

for vox which one would you prefer?
thank you

Hey Hey

So I turn up my Marshall JCM 2000 TSL 60 Watt stack and as the master volume approaches face-peeling-off volume it seems to struggle for power and the tone goes all dull and sh*ttay. Time for new tubes? It's fine at moderate volume, just as you push it harder it goes softer and weaker. Any tube recomendations? 6 years old, used-not too often.

Cheers

My recordings/mixes need a little warmth.

I record with Shure/AKG condensers, into Focusrite Reds, into Pro Tools.

My choices are:

Use tube mics with solid state pre, use solid state mics with tube pre,

or, use a combination of the above, plus, going from pro tools to 2-track tape to add warmth, then back into pro tools.

i've been thinking about saving myself some money by replacing the stock 12AX7 tube inside my $80 preamp with a better tube. (i think i ran across the bnb tubes site in one of these forums).

is this something slightly common? would it be worth it? would i get myself a more pleasing sound or a bad electrical shock?

Anyone ?
