Hello,
I need a new spare set of tubes for my Blues Junior 3 : 3x ECC82 and 2x EL84
The original tubes are getting fried one by one after 9 or 10 years of service. EL84 were GT Groove Tubes, the ECC82 are still fine so far, but i guess after 10 years they will also fry sometime soon.
Looking at thomann's products, i wonder if it's worth the extra 20 euros to buy the RT372 ?
They say it has a longer lifespan, is it significantly better than RT272 ?
I guess i don't mind paying a little more money, if it means several additionnal years of use.
I should mention that i'm using the Blues Junior at low volume in my appartment : Volume between 2 and 3/12 and Master volume also between 2 or 3. I don't use it for "natural" tube distortion, or anything like that.
Edit : I see they also have some TAD EL84-STR RedBase. But they arent coming in pair. Is it very important to get a pair ?
Every observation and suggestions are welcome !
