looking for tube recommedations for Cary SLI-80

hi,

Need your experience re which 6SN7 an 6922 tubes to get to replace the stock tubes in a Cary SLI-80. I'm interested in NOS tubes. Also looking for a good quad of EL-34s (not NOS) to try in place of the 6550s.

thanks for your help

Never tried 5AR4's in mine. From what I've read, 5U4G is better rectifier for this amp. Why do you want to switch to 5AR4's?

hi,

I decieded to use a used old stock RCA from the 40's as a rectifier after talking to Andy at vintage tube services. A pair which tested good cost 36 dollars.
