Best Tubes for VAC
Hi All,
I've got a VAC Signature iia SE linestage (upgraded from iia) and a pair of Phi 200 amps. I'd like to optimize tubes for transparency and detail (of course I also want tonal accuracy, soundstage and imaging). I'm wondering if there are any folks out there who have optimized tubes in their similar VAC units? The tube compliments are:
PREAMP:
2x 12AU7
2x 8416, 7308, 6922, E88CC, ECC88, 6DJ8, (or 12DJ8 twin triodes)
AMPS (each)
4x KT88
4x 6SN7 (in the best 2 positions, I've got a pair of NOS Sylvania 6SN7GT's)
What have people found to work best in these VAC units? Thanks in advance, Peter
