Not sure if it'll help,but I used different brands,but 3 of the same tubes (singles) . 3 in phono and 3 in linestage. Being as the linestage was used for digital I used a softer warmer tube ( Gold Aero "Yugo" Platinum ) and in the phono I used a nos British trio. Never had a problem and worked very well.I would suggest at least use trios as the same,but not necassary to be the same in linestage and Phono section.
How will you position the tubes in SP11 MK2
Hello every audiophile, a few questions need your expertise. I think the tubes in ARC SP11 MK2 don't require match pair(s) or match three, don't they? If you have 4 Mullards and 2 Telefunkens, how would you position them? Also, if you have 3 of each brand, then how will you do? And how about 4 Tele and 2 Mullards?
Thanks
