Well the responses are encouraging regarding keping the Ultraverve.
Actually mine has Vcap teflon caps in it (along with a few other tweaks) so it may or may not be better than the original. I might try to sub them out with some Mundorf Silver/Oil to see if I prefer them instead.
I have tried preamps with the 6922 and also 12XX7 tubes and they seemed sterile in comparison.
The fact that I have searched every forum to see if anyone has replaced their Ultraverve (and come up empty searching, which made me ask this question in the first place) maybe should make me just stop wondering and just enjoy it.
Yobby I do love tube rolling various NOS tubes with it and changing the sound. Also I like live like sound so if the CJ pre is like Oregon states I probably would find it boring after time.
