9 pin miniature preamp tube (Amplification Factor = 100)This Russian tube is full bodied and well balancedIt has a high gain with a very smooth presentationIn overdrive, it is not quite as defined as the 12AX7-S-JJ, but it offers more crunchy fizzFor more information about our 12AX7 tubes, see our tech corner article on 12AX
I have not had to replace the tube on it. I've had it for almost three years and I listen to my records roughly 2-3 hours a day...maybe 3-4 days a week. The VP130 doesn't have an on/off switch, but I leave mine plugged in 24/7. So, my tube is always "hot" and has been for 3 years.
The one that comes with it sounds great to my ears, but if you ever need to replace it, I think you can use one like this fairly cheap:

Hi, I have the Bravo v3 and was wondering if there is a better tube for this thing. Any suggestions?
edit: Found two that I may want to try. Electro Harmonix or Sovtek...
