Wondering what tubes to replace the stock tubes with? Any recommendations greatly appreciated. I really like sound of this little integrated. I have already replaced the pc with a TG audio pc.
you can find a matched quad of svetlana SED winged c 6ca7 (el34) at http://stores.ebay.com/SRS-Webstore_Precision-Matched-Tubes_W0QQssPageNameZVIStoreHeaderLinksQQtZkm? for a decent price. they sell mainly to guitarists. lots of other sites sell them but i found them all to be a bit more expensive.
I replaced the power tubes with New Sensor "Mullard" matched EL34s from The Tube Store. Also I replaced the 12AX7s and 12AT7s with JJ Teslas. I am also able to get these to bias right on at 40mV.
The overall dynamics, clarity and extension were noticeably improved.
Wow, just got Tung-Sol 12AX7s and Mullard (New Sensor) 12AT7s and still more improvement. Better detail and separation. Very nice tuneful bass. Smooth and detailed is how I would describe it. Listening to Beatles Revolver on vinyl with this rig is, as Shelley Duval said in Annie Hall, Transplendent.
