amperex golden globe jan 7308s made such a difference in my ls 5 mk 2 that i retubed my vt130 w/ 7308s as well. my only comparisons are sovtek 6922 but the difference was huge so i'm shopping for more 7308s.

What tubes for ARC LS 5 preamp - 6922/6DJ8
Hi,
I'm a neophyte as far as tube rolling goes
I have an ARC LS 5 preamp which has 10 6922/6DJ8 tubes
I currently have the Soltek 6922 Russian tubes that Arc stocks in their units
can anyone recommend a tube or combinations of tubes to achieve warmth, transparency, tonal balance, richness etc.
(less transistor like - more musicality)
probably not looking at the ultra expensive, but the best bang for the buck a step or two above the stock solteks
also can anyone recommend an online vendor or audiogon member who sells quality tubes at reasonable rates
thanks a lot
Tom
