| Best replacement tubes for my CJ PV14L have M8080 The 8080 is not a very common tube. I don't know if you can find a sub for it. I would check with tube sellers Tubemonger or Brent Jessee, both of whom can be found on the web easily. They both know tubes and are honest sellers. | |

The ET3 is based on the newer GAT circuit and uses 1 6922 tube.I haven't heard either and I think you would have to listen to them to determine which you prefer. c-j amps seem to be gettin... | |
