As you guys know, this integrated has 6 12au7 type tubes in front.

My question: Do you guys use identical brand tubes across the board or do you mix brands up in the same family and in a specific order to get better sound?

@thecarpathian I mean to ask as well, have you upgraded the power tubes?

Sorry, Juan.

Didn't mean to give the impression I own the PL.

I am interested in it, and I have a pretty extensive inventory of 12au7's and their variants. Hence my curiosity.

Gotcha - should you have any other questions on it, let me know. I’ve have a lot of experience with them and know their strengths and weaknesses well.

I use all NOS tubes and mix. On the two center tubes I use some radiotechnique 12AU7 manufactured in 1956, the  other four are General Electric 6189W. BTW, I agree with Bliss comments

@blisshifi,

I like that you don’t try to sell your brands here, unlike Audio Troy. It is refreshing and honest.  Keep up the comments, always a wealth of information.
