I somehow posted early and didn't finish the job. Is this what they call "premature....." ??? : )
Even if you ended up buying a pair of each tube listed above, it would set you back a whopping $75 including shipping. This would give you 5 sets of tubes to compare (4 new pairs and the originals). As such, $75 would not even cover ONE pair from a "tube specialist".
While these tubes may not be on the "hot list" of "tubeheads", they would give you a good idea as to the different sounds and levels of performance that are possible with some simple tube swapping. Keep in mind that there are literally WAY more options open to you. I simply suggested Parts Express and these specific tubes as a matter of pricing, availability, selection, convenience and listed those that i know will work in your specific piece of gear.
Here's a link to the previous discussion on this subject: http://audiogo1.iserver.net/cgi-bin/forum5.pl?ddgtl&989021343&read
Hope this helps and widens your options. Sean
