What to put under my VAC AMP/ PREAMP??

Darin, I prefer triode as you found out. I'm sorry but to get the sound you want you are going to have to get another phi 300.1 and turn them into monoblocks. Place new old stock RCA black base late 50's tubes in the two middle positions and place Sylvania new old stock 6SN7 in the outer positions. Place tube rings on all eight tubes and you will be in heaven. Jeff

i use 2 Hrs m3x custom under my vac statemts 450s ,and hrs m3x plaltforms ,as part of the mxr stand ,under the vac sig.2 and its power supply.extremly effective !
