Dave James	Re: Swapping Preamp Tubes Again, welcome. I too have followed your posts with interest. And don't worry about relating seemingly "touchy" topics. I especially liked the term "anti-hum" in the "Hum...Great Tone" posts. I think most of us would agree that the "plug-and-play", swap of 12A_7 tubes is not completely valid in circuit terms. Looking at the tube charts surely would show this. But this is where we get into the "sounds good, must be good" mode. And THAT is how fables are made (grins). Later, DJ
