NOS tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 1


I just recently bought a Line 1 here on the Gon, Sounds great, but, I would like to do a little experimenting with some NOS tubes. I under stand the back two tubes make the biggest difference.
I would appreciate any suggestions? It now has the Sovtek 6922 stock tubes.

Thanks, Jim

I also have a Power 1. Soon after purchasing it I started tube rolling. Right now I'm using EH kt-88, 2 BB-6922, 2 EH 6922 and 2 BB 7308 in the drivers.

From what I read, the 2 rear drivers have the most impact on the sound, so I started with the 6922's. With my equip (AR LS2MKII w/ 6922 PQ, Jolida jd-100 w/RCA 5751 blackplates and Dahlquist QX-10) the system sounded decent.

Interestingly, when I moved the EH 6922 into the rear drivers the sound stretched vertically, and became much more 3-D. Go figure.

I used to be a professional artist, and since getting into tubes I've discoverded each tube-type I use colors the sound, differently.

So much fun, but oh so costly, sometimes. When my wife returns my charge card I want to try out a matched EIkt-90 quads.

Anyway, enjoy your Power 1. I think mine is boss!
