I would let the new preamp run in and then roll a few tubes before changing anything else (assuming that you are using the Rogue RP-7 recently posted about). A couple pairs of Amperex 12au7 short plates will cost $300-$400 and long plates around ...

3% hydrogen peroxide (plenty of it). Rinse with water, squeeze off water with a cotton towel and then air dry.   DeKay

Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album?
Not all jazz, but "Mose Alive" (Mose Allison) is good. Look for an original Atlantic pressing.   DeKay
