Of the modern production 12AX7/ECC83 type valves which one has the longest life. My Classic 30 eats the phase inverter tube and its getting expensive - especially if you pay to have the 2 triodes matched.
I have been using 12AX7 EH for this but I was just wondering if there is anything better. I seem to remember reading that the Sovtek 12AX7 WA has long life because it is lower gain - is this correct and will it adversely affect tone as a phase inverter compared with the pricier EH?
