Howdy smollet,
Not to be picky, but you mean you replaced "two" tubes, correct, since the Alpha uses two.

Personally, I think the Tube store is blowing smoke, when they said that the EI 12AX7 is not recommended for any CAL gear.
Why would that be? I could see if the EI 12AX7 was as tall as an EL34, then its physical size would not permit it to fit inside a piece of small gear, but other than that, why would any 12AX7 tube not be suitable for a piece of gear that mostly calls specifically for a 12AX7?

Yes, I do understand that many tubes can be used in the Alpha, like virtually all variants of the 12AX7 such as 12AY7, 12AT7, 12AU7, 5751, 5814, etc.
