Lampizator Amber 3


I expect to receive my new Amber 3 next week. It is unbalanced and without volume control.  It will have USB, SPIDF and Toslink digital inputs. Lampizator does not seem to offer upgraded tubes as an option so I am wondering what tubes, new or NOS, selected over the stock tubes might improve sound quality. Is it better to focus on the ECC99 or the ECC82? I find ECC82 equivalent code to be 12AU7 and ECC99 to be 6N6P and E182CC.

I will use Wywires Platinum USB cable and Wywires Digital Juice II Silver series power cord.          

I would greatly appreciate any other guidance people may have. 

Thanks

What are trying to improve about the sound since you have yet to hear it? In general my experience with Lampizator has been to let it burn in and settle, then form an opinion as to the sound. The easiest and most readily available valves to consider having on hand would be the 12au7’s.
