The stock tubes, which are very good, are SEDs. You're right about them being available from reputable dealers for significantly less than what CJ sells them for. Try Jim McShane or The Tube Store. I tried the Tung Sol 6550 re-issue but preferred the SED. The Tung Sol have fuller bass but the SED are more evenly balanced.
Tubes for CJ MV60SE
Hello,
The original tubes in my amp are now getting close to require replacement and I am looking for suggestions. I don't have any experience to speak of in regards to the different brand tubes and their particular sound characteristics. I like the sound of my amp with the tubes that were installed at factory by CJ, however there is no brand name stamped on the tubes. I believe that if I buy tubes direct from CJ cost will be higher than if I buy from other source but not sure of this. Does anyone know what brand tubes CJ installs in the MV60SE ?
Thanks,
