The 275 amp comes with either Electro Harmonix or JJ tubes for small signal tubes.. I changed to NOS Telefunken for both the 12au7 and the twin 12at7's. Big difference. There are quite a few NOS tubes that will make a big difference in that amp. Sylvania goldpins, Amperex, etc. are all nice change in the signal tubes. The output or power tubes are all good to go. Those KT120's are great, although you can run KT88's, KT150's, or even 6550's.
