Anyone try both the Brimar and RFT 12AX7's in V1 on the RxES? Just curious as to how these two tubes respond in this amp. I'm thinking about ordering a few from Mike at KCA, and just wanted to see what you guys thought.

The Brimar is brighter (but not really bright) and cleaner than the RFT. The RFT is a special purpose tube for those who want less brightness and earlier breakup.

I replaced my GT12ax7M (V1) and the 12ax7LPS (V3) for two Brimar 12ax7's I got from Mike in my RXeS. I noticed the amp got a little less glassy, but not by much (I just turn my treble knob up a bit more now) and the midrange opened up A LOT. It didn't give me more midrange, its just got more depth and vibrancy. And the big key was, the Brimars lowered the noise floor A TON. And now the overdose is even more usable than before. I wholeheartedly recommend the Brimars in the RXeS.
