The Sig MKII uses 8416. The earlier Sig MKIIa uses 6922/e88cc/7308. The later Sig MKIIa has a switch (6.3 volts and 12.6 volts) where you can use 6922/e88cc/7308 or 8416.My Sig MKIIa has the switch and stock tube is Golden Dragon e88cc. The preamp... 
Squeezebox hard to see?
BTW, I run my MW Transporter with the display turned off since it's useless from my listening position.

Which Pre-amp. match with Krell KSA 200S Pow. Amp?
