Hi y'all...
Since my Rivera M60 was starting to make funny scratching noises I splurged and purchased a set of GT 12ax7m tubes (someone says they're Mullard clones...go guess)
.
Now I have no noises (at least one problem is solved) - but overall the sound has become much warmer (read: darker, bassier, whatever).
I really wasn't expecting this.
What brand / type of pre tubes should I choose for an "airier" (i.e. less dark) sound?
Last Q: what can I do to test the pre-existing pre-tubes? I suspect that only one of them was gone, but how can I test this assumption in a scientific manner?
Thank you...
JJ
