Audible Illusions Modulus 3a tubes

Contact Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio.He sells the A.I units and he also sells and knows tubes.

the Sovtek tubes strength is durability not exceptional sound .While the A.I. M3A is fussy on what tubes it uses, there are stil a few better tube choices.BTW the A.I M3A has gone through small production upgrades each year since the 3A was introduced in 1996 and the current production model has adressed the problem of limited tube choices. Once again Kevin Deal is the tube guru and as well as sells the A.I line.He is unquestionably the absolute source for matching tubes with the M3A.If one may be looking for unmatched bargain tubes, then that may offer a different or even improved sound, but by no means an exceptional sound!You would not buy a mint used performance car and put budget tires on it,or would you?

Mi3491,maybe you could not get tubes ,but I received a matched set of Tungstram 6922 tubes a few months ago for my M3A from Kevin and upon his recommendation. My unit was not bought from him.

Mi3491, Use the search section at Audio Asylum.I know that there are posts about other local tube stores that are reliable ,are highly recommended and will probably have what you want . At A.A. ,You might consider posting for other tube stores and state your experience. I also may have to resort to one of them after your update about Kevin.Take care.
