Some use Pope, or NOS Sylvania, Kenrad 6SN7/VT231 W, WGT, GT, GTA ... Next, roll those retifier tubes I have great result with my SLP-05/CAD120S combo Google for info on 6SN7 Good luck

Best to roll is those input tube 6922 - Google Joe's tube Lore - It tells you which one to hunt I use Amperex PQ 6922 white label USA made, sound awesome Good luck
