V1 Preamp Tube Shootout

[Lasse Lammert]

k, here's the next shootout...this time it's very subtle indeed.

the tubes are:

Tung Sol 12ax7
TAD high grade 7025C (china)
TAD high grade 7025CZ (JJ)
TAD high grade 7025S (Mullard style remake)

here are the clips, I muted the backing in a couple of places so you can check the guitars alone as well as in the mix

No differences at all to my ears Checked with monitors and with headphones

compare the 7025C to the JJ, the JJ should be quite a bit middier, smoother and less open than the C
