Re: Ruby vs EH preamp tubes
I dont think Ruby makes their own tubes.. they're just relabeled and hand picked/tested tubes.
I've never tried the Ruby tubes.. but used and do own Highgain graded EH12ax7s. I tell you, those things have all the gain a person will need. They have sorta of a crunchy sound to them.. sorta marshally since they're rich in the High-mid type tone, but not lacking on the low end either.
Good luck!

Re: Ruby vs EH preamp tubes
there are only a few factorys that make tubes, couple in old soviet countrys, couple in china, couple european. thats it as far as i know.
everybody buys their tubes from the same places and then tests and matches them according to their own standards.
sovtek and jj are two factorys that sell their own brand

I'll give you my standard response to a tube question. It's a subjective thing, so I'll give you a link to place that I find informative and let you be the judge.

Re: Ruby vs EH preamp tubes
Too general a question. Specify which tubes.
Certain amps like certain tubes. There is no specific formula without buying some and trying them. One man's horrible sound is another beautiful sound.Jackson, Ibanez & Ovation Guitars
Laney, Marshall & Peavey Amplification
((tube max dissipation wattage / amp plate voltage) x % of max dissipation wattage) x 1000 = bias current in mA

I used Ruby Tubes as well as Magic Parts Speakers exclusively until they started acting like pricks and filed their BS suit against Paul Ruby Amplification ove rht use of the name. A local dealer has also dropped them from their sortiment, and www.tubeampdoctor.com , formerly a Ruby Distributor, now selects and grades themselves for the same reason, and yes the matching system is compatible
Ever since they didf that, they´ve been on my boycot list, together with every company that uses their stuff out of the box such as Voodoo.... And it seems that Mesa Engineering also is affiliated with Ruby Tubes through their licensing out of Rubys matching system, which if proven will instantly turn me into an Ex-Mesa user and drum up more work for Jeff SealLast edited by Zerberus; 09-26-2005, 03:45 PM.Zerberus Industries: Where perfection just isn't good enough.
