Should I upgrade from Sylvania 6DJ8 to better tube


I currently use Sylvania 6DJ8 for my Conrad Johnson 17LS. I wonder if I can get much better sound with Amperex or Mullard. Or if it's just marginally better than perhaps I should spend my money on something else.

I agree with the above posters. I like any of the European vintage 6922's and 7308's. If your C-J uses 6DJ8's and isn't too hard on the tubes my favorite 6DJ8 type is the earlier Siemens CCa. Big, smooth, full with tight bass and huge soundstage. These tubes show up from time to time on Audiogon. Just make sure they are 1960's vintage or earlier. They were also made in the 70's but sound much more ordinary.
