At $6.95 each, Sovteks sound pretty good to me but it depends on your whole system (synergy) and what you like. I've tried Sylvania chrome domes and thought they had a warm but soft midrange that just didn't work in my system for classical guitar, cello, and piano (my favorites).
Need help with tubes for AES AE-3
I have just purchsed a AE-3 and Im loving what this little fellow does for my system. I would never have thought that a tubed preamp could open up the music the way this does. The preamp came with the stock Chinese tubes and I know that its sonic signature can only be improved upon by replacing the tubes.
Since Im new to the tube craze, Im not sure where to start with "tube rolling". I would like to find a tube that has a effortless high end, great low end punch, and a midrange that you would die for. Does such a tube exist? What different tubes should I look at?
Thanks, Kris
