Hi!
I wanted to audition some 6072 / 12AY7 tubes in my AKG C28a, and was surprised to find that some brands are simply too wide or too long to fit. The modern EH 6072a is both wider and longer!
Obviously I don't want to spend money on tubes that don't fit. Has anyone else found this and noted tubes brands that do / don't fit?
BTW, I asked this over on the mic forum at prosoundweb, and got the answer... 'get an original GE five star', which is fine. (But maybe I'll look for an AC701, a VF14 and the holy grail whilst I'm at it....).
Like most of us here I enjoy experimenting with different components. I'd hoped for some more creative suggestions - I should have posted here in the first place!
Cheers!
