I'm bringing this one back from the dead. I'm currently using the new issue Gold Lions in my Mc C2300, earlier in the year I switched to a MC cart and never swapped tubes so I'm using whatever the stock Mc tubes were from when my 2300 was built. I am thinking to just swap the MM stage GLs to the MC, but considering replacing the line in tubes. I have a pair of matched JJ ECC803s that I got for under $30 each, but I'm strongly considering going NOS. Is there really a large noticeable difference? I don't want to drop $1,000 on NOS Telefunkens, but something like $300 for a pair of JAN GE 12AX7s doesn't seem unreasonable. Open to any input, thanks.
Edit: Maybe per this thread I'll keep an eye out for used Teles that test well.
