jkontuly, you need to start reading my posts. I’ve got a Melody and have warned many times about my Preferred Series tubes going up in flames. Three in two months, failed spectacularly. Worst of all the tubes tried in my 30 years running tube amps.
The tubes you seek are JJ. Very reliable, very affordable, yet very close to the best sounding tubes JJ are the best deal in tubes I have found.
You can buy them from TubeStore.com, they are a good source, just not for their Preferred Series tubes! As for the other tubes leave them alone. Unless of course you like playing the lottery.
