@samzx12 Yep, the Stereo 100 does respond well to tube rolling, and I agree that the stock JJs are unimpressive sounding, and on the thin side. I've done a fair amount of tube rolling in the ST100. If you can find a pair of CBS 7729 tubes for gain, get them! The 7729 as gain are probably my favorite for the ST100. Super detailed, dynamic, completely quiet and neutral. I have those 7729 in my phono pre right now though, they are perfect there. Right now in the ST100 I have good old RCA 12ax7 long black plates as gain tube, CBS 7730 as driver. This combo jives well with the RP9. Amperex "medical grade" long plates sound amazing as gain in the ST100, as does the Tungsram 12Ax7. I did not like NOS Mullard long plates, though, they seem veiled in the treble. Anyway, it's all about flavor, it's hard to make this amp sound bad : )
