Jim S.	Re: sovtech 12ax7LPS I bought a batch of 10 of them recently and noticed that they were all microphonic; some more than others. I thought the tone was very, very good, however. Maybe similar to a good NOS GE 7025. I think the quieter ones would be OK in the input gain stage position of a vintage type amp, but I don't know if any of them would work in a high-gain amplifier. If Sovtek can do something about cleaning up the microphonics, we'll have a great currenet-production 12AX7 to work with!
