12AU7 tubes for a Rouge Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated


I believe my unit was shipped with JJ tubes. Wondering what tubes others have tried. Looking to steer the amp towards more 'bloom' and less clinical.

Maybe Mullards?

My rogue set up is ST100 power amp with RP1 pre, so not sure if this is helpful. I've experimented with a handful of tubes in the 12au7 and 12ax7  spots and best combo for me without a doubt was Mazda 12au7 and Telefunken smooth plate 12ax7. I was actually surprised how much of a difference the 12ax7's made in the power amp. Brent Jesse tubes is a great resource btw, he responds to emails quickly, tubes descriptions on his website are very helpful, and he has a wide selection. Good luck!
