N2h2 « Lamps bad quality! »
Published on 10/06/11 at 03:06After extensive testing of lamps in Brand Manufacturer preamp, I decided following an article seen on the mesa site describing how they sort of lamp is draconian by myself to see if the quality was at the appointment.
Usually I am rather anti retagués tubes (yes, mesa is no tube, they supposedly sort and retaguent with their logo), but I thought that I had to test by myself not to argue the supposed fact.
I have already been tested in the past a lot of 12AX7/ECC83 to be exhaustive:
Tung-ground Reissue 12AX7 gold pin and version.
Sovtek 12AX7-WA, WB, WC and LPS
-JJ/Tesla ECC83 and ECC803s and the gold pin versions.
-Mullard reissue.
Electro-Harmonix 12AX7
Sino 12AX7-A, B and C
SV-12AX7 Svetlana-.
Phillips-JAN-12AX7 (NOS)
This time I bought four 12AX7-A mesa home to see if they sort it possible to obtain excellent sound quality lamps.
And to my great disappointment, not at all.
4 new lamps on the four caused the blast on the first day,
2 / 4 caused a small crack guitar same volume 0. and the worst, 3 / 4 were the first microphone to use! ! !
So sorting hyper selection realized by mesa boogie, it's great shakes, grabs the sucker who wants to believe it.
Although these lamps have a color sound drinking (a closer look, they are JJ / Tesla ECC83 retagués) it is of very poor quality, no sorting worthy of the name has been made.
I put three to zero does not stick directly, but it is the equivalent of buying lamps damn!
