Thank you all. I've ordered new tubes. It will be interesting to see how the old boy performs with the new tubes.
Replacement tubes for C-J
Hi All,
My wife just found my old Conrad Johnson MV-55 power amp buried in a storage closet! Thought I'd give it a go. As expected, fuse blew, bad tubes. I would like to get this running again. Can you recommend a good source for replacement tubes at reasonable prices?
Thanks so much.

I'll second viridian's recommendation of Viva Tubes. Good prices and great folks to deal with. https://www.vivatubes.com/ My other favorite source is Jim McShane. He doesn't have a pretty web site but just send an email or give him a call. He knows more about tubes than just about anyone, does meticulous testing and is a real gentleman. http://www.mcshanedesign.net/tubes.htm |

I should also include Upscale as a preferred vendor. https://www.upscaleaudio.com/collections/vacuum-tubes/el34-6ca7-kt77 You can also get them on Amazon Prime. |
