The Sovtek 12AX7WA is a defacto standard in 12AX7 tubes for many years yet because of its high dependability and its low noise floor.

• The 12AX7EH provides high gain with ultra low noise and detailed, musical tone that rivals the most desirable NOS types.

Very linear working 12AX7 / ECC83 with long anode plates and spiral heating, which makes the tube less sensitive to interference from AC heating.
We recommend this tube for audio and high-end amps as well as for "modern" Fender amps with more overdrive, but also as an input tube in old Marshall JCM800s.


Note: Tubes equipped with long plates are commonly associated with a "warmer" or "richer" sound, whereas those with shorter plates tend to deliver a "tighter sound". However, tubes featuring long plates exhibit increased sensitivity to vibrations and mechanical disturbances, rendering them less ideal for critical applications.

The Sovtek 12AX7WC has a little bit more gain than the Sovtek 12AX7WB and  the 12AX7WA. The noise floor is still pretty low compared with other 12AX7 tubes and the dependabiliyt very high.
