6SN7 & 6CA4 Tube Recommendations for Cary AE-3 DJH

I've been running mainly Pope 6SN7, purchased from Upscale Audio. Truly holographic and detailed with great extension. I also run early Sylvania GTs(circa 1944) which offer tremendous detail and realism. The rectifier seems to matter less, as long as it is still a healthy tube.

I wish I could run both sets of the aforementioned tubes as they both are excellent in various criteria. I have been thinking about upgrading to a direct-coupled slp98 line stage for this very reason, but it is hard to put the DJH aside as it is so capable.

**addendum to my prior post**
This little preamp is a gem. Hopefully you are a believer in the difference power and cabling makes in a system because the DJH does respond very well with the right choices as other have mentioned here. I use exclusively Shunyata power cables in my system, and specifically a Taipain Alpha Helix on my DJH (with Mapleshade Excaliber interconnects) with excellent results. Right out of the box, the preamp sounds good, but really comes into another league when you have everything dialed in. Have fun and enjoy!
