Pmrodier, just curious were the tubes you got from Upscale the 6H23 type 3's? From all the previous posts i have read folks seem to think they were the best bang for the buck and might out live me if i turn the pre off between listening sessions. Also my L-1 is a 1995 model but Kevin did seem to think it was one of the hardest models on tubes. But obviously i was looking for a tube with good bass response and now i am wondering if i might have made an error in judgement. Thanks for the tip on the Mullard Gold Pins. Are there any other AI L-1 users out there that would like to chime in with their personal experiences. Thanks in advance,
Randy
