Vac Sig MKII tube circuit upgrade

Anyone have the tube circuit board upgrade on their pre's done.
I want to have mine checked over as I bought her used.
Figure while she's there might as well do the upgrade as that will also give me more tube choice.

Anybody have any thoughts on this.

I believe just the MKII as the IIA has that tube swap option installed already.

Not true. Only the later Sig MKIIa has the tube swap option. I ordered my Sig MKIIa in mid 2011 and it has the option.

I spoke with Kevin and there's no circuit change, just a switch out of the signal path to deliver 6.3 or 12.6 volts depending on the tube type.

I hear the IIA is going to get a stellar review in next months issue of the Absolute Sound.

Must have understood Vac's website.
The earlier II and IIa can be upgraded so a user can swap out
different tube types.

Knghifi,don't suppose you have been experimenting with different tube types by chance,any thoughts on the extra possibilities.
