Tubes for VAC PA 100/100


Just got this beauty yesterday and I am pretty impressed so far. Any owners have thoughts on replacement KT-88s or other feedback regarding this amp?

Thanks,

A couple of months ago I purchased a used VAC PA 100/ 100 and it arrived with some Electro Harmonix tubes that sound good.

The amp did arrive with a non stock power cord. According to VAC the PA 100/100 sound varies more than most of their amps, depending on power cord used. I ordered the original stock cord from VAC for $20 or so and it sounds a bit better than an old Aragon cord I was using.

Last week I had listened to some rental cords from The Cable Company including an Elrod which definetly made it sound better, (fuller base and better soundstaging) though my bias is towards testing one of Michael Wolff's cords.

A couple of weeks ago I added some Argent Audio Pursang interconnects and in conjunction with the VAC the quality of the sound and the soundstage benefited.
