Classic Audio brand tubes

[saxmo]

I recently bought an amp full of Classic Audio brand 12ax7's and EL34's. Has anyone heard of these? I can't find anything on the inet.

Maybe they are something that is re-branded? Aren't there several companies that do that?

Hmm.. sounds familiar.

You sure they're not called "Glassic Audio"? ["G", not "C"]

If so, and if my memory serves me correct (hah)... I had a set of these 12AX7s in the late 80s.

I still have them in my stash but I haven't used or looked at them in decades.

Just your run of the mill Chinese tubes that were so prevalent back then.

My bet goes to 'Audio Glassic' ... they re-branded tubes. Some Russian some Chinese IIRC

Re: Classic Audio brand tubes

You are Correct. They are Audio Glassic from China. They haven't been made in yrs. , but they still work. I'm looking 4 someone to test 'em for me. I bought an old SD100Conv. Replaced v3 &v2,v1 w/ rca 12ax7s & au7. It also had 2 old Sovteks and 2 old Audio Glassic Pwr tubes. Replaced em w/ JJEl34II's. .Now it's as quiet as a sleeping babe-even @ 100W.
It sounds *****in' with a Harp.
