I found that the RAM tubes sound really good in my cj. More dymamics and much more air.
Conrad Johnson PV-8. Is it worth upgrading tubes?
I have owned a Conrad Johnson PV-8 for 13 years. I have had it "moded" twice which made a diffrences in a lower noise floor and possbly better dynamic range. Now, I am debating upgrading to better tubes. Would upgrading its stock tubes made a difference??? Or, are there used pre-amp on the market that would offer "much better" performance and also have good phono stage??.---all within a reasonable price range of $800-1000.... I have an Aragon 4004 MK2 amp which is also 13 years old. Both have driven a host of speakers from B&W Matrix 3's to green Mountain Europa's to Vnandersteen 1C's Thanks, Jim
