Dodd Preamp Question

Heard from few guys about Siemens tubes.
They are very happy using them. I haven't try those yet but I sure will give it a try.

Thanks for sharing your impressions.

Give it some time.
My impression is that you want a bit warmer presentation in the middle range and somewhat rolled-off top.
If that is the case, replace JJs with NOS Mullards.
One of the benefits of tube preamp is tailoring the sound by tube rolling.
Being very responsive in that regard is one of Dodd's virtues.

Amperex tubes are worthy recommendation.
Cruz is right about their characteristics and it could prove to be good starting point in fine tuning your system in the right direction.

P.S
I've also used Amperex Bugle Boys in my Dodd and they were quite good as well. Not as "middle-rangey" as Mullards but proportionaly balanced throughout the frequencies with touch of exitement and sparkle.

It is very good. How good?.....is in the eye (or ear) of the beholder.
