Sleebo_The_Beebo	Mesa Boogie Pre-amp Tubes In case anyone's interested, I replaced the 12ax7's in my MKIIB with GE 5751's and the amp sounds great. Better than original IMO. I'm passing this info to boogie owners because many have reported having a hard time matching replacement 12ax7's to the boogie. For example, RCA NOS 12ax7's sound terrible in mine. I've heard the same from others. The 5751 does the trick.
