Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ?

I have developed a high pitched hiss from the stock Sovteks which came with my unit. I believe its at least two or more of the 12ax7s which are in the first input gain stage as I hear it more or less equally out of both channels. I was wondering if any Rhea owners have rolled the tubes in their units and, if so, what prompted the swap and what success you have met with.

Stew,

What does the manual say about plugging into a power regenerator? I know that the Io manual specifically warns against plugging into any kind of AC conditioner or regenerator and says to plug directly into the wall.

May not be true for the Rhea, but it's a thought.

Also... I don't know what an RPTV is, but if it's a TV, that could be causing tube interference too if it's turned on?
