I also just recently did a shootout and being a long time jj user switched to ruby 12ax7ac5hg. in general they have less noise and squeals not to mention better tone. Still into jj6l6 power tubes tough.

Man, im sooo jealous. I had a chance to buy a JCM800, but talked myself out of it. Yours sounds fantastic, and the JB sounds delicious- my frontal lobe is just salivating!
I might have to try the ruby pre tube in my gear- thats pretty convincing!
Thanks for doing that!

i think i prefer the chinese too. ive been fighting this overly bassy/lack of treble tone and had thought it was my les paul.

thanks khriss. i had to fight this guy for 3 months to get him to take $50 off the price. still paid $950 with no warenty. i ended up replaced the filter caps, bias supply caps, a socket, screen and grid resister. at the moment im content with my tone. am is an 84' 2204.

Something I've wanted to try was a recommendation I got to use a JJ in V1 and the rest Chinese. I have plenty of JJ's but no Chinese preamps.
