re-tubing CJ LP70s


Any suggestions? which 6922 for the driver tube?

Which 6550?

looking for more 3D, liquid, sweet mids and bass with authority. (I know it's a difficult combination)

Currently the preamp is Aesthetix Calypso with Tele 12AX7 ribbed.

Thanks in advance

Change all the 6922 tubes out for a nice set of amperex or mullard 6DJ8 and it will help. You can try to install KT88 in it also but I have never tried that and don't know if that will improve on the SED 6550.

Not sure why people are mentioning 12ax7 tubes. The LP70 uses 6922. I believe the 5751 are a lower gain so be careful.
