Doesn't the unit use 12AX7s(4) and 12AT7s(2) not 12AU7s as stated above? I'm planning on using 4 Amperex 12AX7s (BB) and looking to get Mullard 12AT7s. Has anyone tried these tubes in the Doshi?

However, I have yet to listen to a single tube combination in which the Alaap doesn't fantastic. (i.e. I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you choose). That being said, I have it on good authority that the best of the new production tubes are: JJ gold pin ECC83S JJ gold pin 12AT7 JJ gold pin ECC99 The ECC99 wouldn't apply to you unless have the separate Alaap line stage or full function preamp. I recently bought the above tubes for my Alaap and they all sound incredible. Chris p.s. Like everyone has said before me, Nick is truly wonderful to deal with.
