Anyone suggest Tubes for Jolida hybrid amplifier?


I just purchased a Jolida 1701A, hybrid integrated amplifier. I want to replace the stock Chinese 12AX7 tubes but I have no knowledge about tubes. Can anyone suggest which tubes I should purchase that would add to the warmth and transparency of the Jolida amp?

I personally like the GE 5751 Black Plate triple mica from the late 50's/early 60s. Bought a pair for $75 here on Audiogon from Jim Sautter. Jim is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to work with you. j.sautter@mchsi.com is his email. He sells under absolutetubes on eBay and jsautter here on Audiogon. I highly recommend him.

Good luck and enjoy the music.

Matched pairs are important in some applications and not in others. I recommend that you get in touch with Jim Sautter. One of the finest people I have dealt with on Audiogon.
