@jmolsberg Thanks for the link. Spent the afternoon reading all Kevin's notes.
45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s
I am new to this type of tubes, i said to myself never buy tube amp anymore, but it was hard to resist when Yamamoto A-08s (from my old wantlist) turned up for sale at affordable price, finally. And i bought it (no more cartridges this month for sure, i am saving on new tubes).
So many amazing reviews online, especially from people who use same speakers like my Zu Audio Druid.
Damn, why do i need another amp if i already have First Watt praised as much as the Yammy with same type of speakers. Maybe for my final comparison of the best Solid State vs. SET ... who knows.
Anyway, my unit comes with used tubes supplied originally (NOS) by the manufacturer.
I know nothing about 45 tubes and i wish to learn quickly.
The most popular NEW replacement is Emission Lab 45s ($648 for a pair in USA now, the price will be higher soon).
Maybe there are some cheaper NOS tubes available ?
Please recommend me something, especially if you have same Yamamoto A-08s amp
Thanks!
