I think you should do this….replace your tube gear with solid state. You’re going to accomplish two major objectives - 1) have less noise in your system and 2) make less noise in the forums
Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound?
i replaced all the small tubes on my mono amplifiers and now I'm left with replacing the stock Power tubes, kt88.
I like what I hear with 12 new small tubes - telefunken nos 12ax7 and 12at7.
Now I am left with replacing 16 kt88 stock JJ tubes. will Probably use Siemens 6550 nos.
How much will this impact what I hear do you think? I recall hearing that power tubes don't make that much of a difference.

All…please be very diligent and extremely careful recommending tubes for OP’s system. The tubes must be on a good enough level to not embarrass the amps that will be driving a $50,000 pair of speakers that OP is looking to purchase. Please continue your battle on tube choices, plate voltages, tops, compatibility , requirements and adapters. I’m sure all this information will be extremely helpful to @emergingsoul And just curious, @emergingsoul , with you being so impressed with Jay’s Audio Lab, are you contacting him for an advice. What did Jay say about your setup and future plans? |
