I have an Ah! 4000 and want to do some tube rolling. Who knows higher quality tubes that they've tried with this cd player? What were your perceptions? Thanks!
I appreciate your input! I'm not sure about this, but is it possible to try alternative tubes like the 7DJ8 or 6ES8? If so, has anyone tried them, and to what affect? Appreciate the info!
Please don't try them. 6ES8 -- not stable and not interchangeable. 7DJ8 -- different heater voltage. Not interchangeable. You just need to pay up for the NOS tubes
Au contraire, the 6ES8's work fine in the Ah, and they sound great too. After much tube-rolling, I settled on the 6ES8's and yes, I wanted to use the much more expensive Siemens PCC88's or the Tungsrams and others-a very surprising find for me. YMMV! Have fun.
