I've tried about a dozen different 12ax7 tubes and 5751 tubes for the input stage and my favorites by far are the Mulllard CV4004 12ax7 tube and the Sylvania 5751 triple mica black plate steel pin. Huge diffence over stock tubes. The M120 becomes a whole different beast. Dont be afraid to experiment with 5751 tubes because 4 out of 5 different types of 5751 tubes I've used beat all the 12ax7 tubes I've tried except the Mullards, which are the second best tube I've tried in this application, bested by the Sylvania's. The Magnum version is superior to the stock M120 so you might want to think about that upgrade path. I've tried the Svetlana KT88 and 6550c's in the driver section and preferred by a wide margin the KT88's. Hope this info helps.
