Tube Sources for Exemplar 3910?

Thank you very much, M297904! Is the 5965 a relatively recent recommendation of John Tucker's? I had a 2900 or 2910 in which I was using 5965s or 7062s, per either John's or Tbg's recommendation. When I bought the 3910 3 years ago, after what I believe were the last modifications John made to the 3910, it came with 6829s; and the dealer told me this was what John recommended. I ask because my understanding is that John has moved on to modifying other, different, non-Denon players.

When I called John Tucker about a year ago to ask your exact question, that's what he told me. I think he likes to tinker and will try different caps and tubes to see what combo works best. For exampole, I found out one unit could have Dynamicaps, another may have Audicaps. I suspect the difference will not be too dramatic.

Thank you, M297904.

Jfz, I talked with John. He somewhat prefers the 6829 but says the 7062 give better detail and bass. The 5965s are at the bottom of the heap.
