Lamm ML2.1 Tubes


Hello, I run the ML2.1 with the tubes from factory and I am interested in opinions about using it with NOS Tubes.
Compared to the stock 12AX7 I tried NOS Telefunken 12AX7 and Mullard CV4004. There are differences, but nothing dramatic (in my opinion).
Are NOS really worth it (in general) or did someone find the match to go?
Thanks

I prefer the Amperex 12AX7 long plate D getters in my ML2's. These seem to have the best combination of clarity and bass. I liked the midrange of the Telefunken smooth plates but theywere too light in the bass in my system. Unfortunately the Amperex will set you back a few hundred dollars.
