What?? Is this a joke?? It sounds like you just won the tube
lottery. ECC83/12AX7 are the most popular tubes used in audio
pre-amplifiers. Amperex is an extremely well-known brand, and are
highly-valued by hifi weenies. While I don't believe anything about
tubes that cannot be substantiated by a little thing I call physics,
Amperex made very good tubes, and they often fetch a high price on
the used market.
