Lamm ML1 question

I would not recommend it. Vladmir hand picks each tube and they are of the highest quality.

I have tried it with no luck.

Congratulations on a terrific amp.

Thanks, Jonathan. Given my experience with the LP2 phono stage, I suspected as much, but years of playing with my Jadis has made me used to playing with different types of tubes.

Shushurin "hand picks" from what is readily available. Rcprince...if you are looking at vintage NOS tubes, here is what worked for me: Telefunkens in the 12AX7 location and RCA black plates in the 12BH7 location. I was running a LL2 pre and Mini Utopia speakers at the time. Andy at Vintage Tube Services was excellent at matching up some nice ones for me. Good luck...

Deano: Thanks. I have a ton of Andy's Telefunken 12AX7s left over from the stock I was saving for my old JP80 which I can try; I'll talk with him about 12BH7s if I like the sound better with the Teles.
