I go to the Tube Store dot com and sort out what is available at an acceptable price. There is no correlation to price versus performance but there is a one to one correlation to perception of performance to price. So beware before you part with those big bucks....
McIntosh MC275 VI preamp tubes
I can tell that one or more of the preamp tubes (12ax7 and 12at7) are starting to get weak...the music is starting to sound a bit muddled and not quite as clear as it used to be. I need to replace one or some or all. I am looking for suggestions for tubes. I love NOS RCA tubes, but they are getting harder to find and a bit pricier than they used to be. Has anyone tried the Golden Lion, and/or the newer black diamond telefunken? I think I tried Tung-Sol, but didn’t care for them much. I’m open to suggestions, I’d like to keep the price roughly around $50/tube. I know this has been covered before, but looking for any updates/current suggestions in the last year or so.
I have golden lion KT88 that still seem to be going strong. My system is:
CD Player : Marantz SA8005
Preamp: Krell KSP 7B
Streamer: Cambridge Audio CXN (V2)
Speakers: B&W683
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks !!!
