EAR 834P tube swapin

What tubes have you rolled through your ear 834p?
Who have you used to mod the ear 834p and was it worth the extra $$ spent? Thanks in advance

But have done extensive tube rolling just for the fun of it! Among the very best were Tesla ECC803S - neutral, airy and hard to beat. Various 5751's tried including GE, Raytheon windmill. Position V3 is now occupied by a 5751, proving more focused, less vague than any 12AX7. Positions V1 and V2, however, one particular 12AX7 won me over in no uncertain terms - get them if you can find them - MAZDA 12AX7 GREY PLATE 1957, it's as if these were made for the job, just AWESOME!

Guided by experience of seller, an eye for a bargain, testing, instinct, who is bidding, help from esnipe! I try to avoid paying dealer prices, whatever the reputation. Also, there are still good tubes to be snapped-up even if slightly used.
