I put in some NOS Tesla E34L's (power tubes) built in the late 80's/early 90's, but I haven't tried similar vintage Tesla EL34's yet, but from past experience I suspect they would sound much the same. That brightened my One up quite a bit. Added to that some EI 12AX7's almost made it too bright and I went back to the EH's (this is the only application for the EH's that I found that they sounded neutral - go figure!). You can also play with the 12AU7's as well - they do make some difference. I ended up using EI's. The permutation's are endless. I didn't care for the JJ 12AX7's or the JJ 12AU7's in this amp at all.
PrimaLuna One, interconnects,cables,power chords
Has anyone experimented with interconnects,speaker cables, or power chords? I am thinking about upgrading from Audioquest King Cobras, and very inexpensive speaker cables, but I'm not sure if I should consider silver, or stick with copper.Maybe Zen's, or Analysis Plus.
I'm trying to get a bit more sparkle and transparency.
I presently have a Theta Miles CD player(which is good for taming the bass), Spendor 3/5se speakers.
Will changing tubes help?
Thanks for your help.
