I don't know about your amp, but I do know about the 845 tube - first hand experience. NOS RCA and United 845 tubes are far and away the best - night and day. The Chinese are not even close. But, the Chinese are affordable and do sound okay. The Chinese Amperex styled version (845B)does sound better than the original Sino 845. So, I would recommend the 845B. I also have the non-graphite anode 845C, but have not given them a long listen yet. I plan to do that later this summer.
845 recommendations from actual experience
'
What 845s do you recommend, and why?
Sound quality, durabilty, price are the obvious considerations. But I'd like to settle on THE one to use with my VIVA Auroras.
Currently still using Sino 845s which is what Amedeo Schembri (designer of the amp) used to recommend.
