Thanks all for the replies. I can tell my fascination with tube sound is gonna cost me some money before I'm done, but it's a lot cheaper that rolling different units in my system. Think my first ones to try will be the Telefunken's and the Amperex.
Best 6DJ8 tubes?
I have a Carver C-19 pre and SDA/490t cd, both use 6DJ8 tubes. Both units were recently serviced and had Sovtek tubes installed. The tubes in the cd player only have about 10 hrs on them, but the sound isn't nearly as warm as it was before replacing the stock tubes. I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best brand I could use, if 6922's would improve the sound, and the standard burn in time for the new tubes.
