For an EL34 alternative try the Gold Lion KT77's a great sounding EL34 variant. Also NOS 6L6 tubes are pretty affordable and might warm things up over current iterations. Also oldhvymec is right the small signal tubes have a large impact on the sound. That's a great little integrated have fun tube rolling!
Tube rolling on Leven CS 600
Good Morning.
I have a Leben CS 600 amplifier driving Devore O93 speakers. I am using Luna Mauve ICs with a Linn Akurate DS steamer, Feikert Volare TT, and Cal Audio Icon Mark ii CD/Heed Abacus DAC. The Leben came with 6L6GC tubes, but can also run with EL34 tubes.
Overall it sounds great but on some older recordings ( mainly CD or streaming) its a tad bright/forward; in part due to the poor acoustics of my room.
I wonder if some tube rolling might be worth a try.
Has anyone any experience/thoughts?
Thanks
