I have had nice results with Telefunken 12AX7 and Sylvania 6sn7. It has been awhile since I switched but recall a subtle refinement rather than something more than that. The Tempest II has been great and a good upgrade from the original.
Rogue Tempest II tube rolling
Hey-
Just curious who's swapped some tubes in the Tempest II & what changes occured. I just got mine yesterday and will start by swapping the Sovtek 12ax7's for some NOS RCA 12AX7a's. Right now im interested in changing the 6sn7 driver tubes from the Shugyang stock tubes that came with it, im thinking maybe some Sylvania's? My setup is:
Musical Fidelity A3.2 CD
Tempest II
B&W N804
