Re: best 12AX7 tube?
Haha! It's pretty unbelievable that NOS treasures like that are able to fetch that much dough. My guess is that most of the bidders are hi-fi nuts - not guitarists. For hi-fi guys, it's not only important to have the Telefunken (the most highly coveted tube among hi-fiers), but to have one in that kind of shape with perfect lettering and original boxes. The tubes will likely end up in a Macintosh (or similar) amp where the tubes are visible - thus, the importance of good lettering. Must be a good way to impress the girls!
