Good Tube Selection for Atma Sphere S30?

Thank you. Great information

Appreciate your responses

Sibelius you are sooo right. The S30 does sound very nice out of the box. Thanks for the tip on the front row tubes. I understand now the critical tube locations to try. I had some microphonic feedback which was interrupted by tapping one of the front row tubes ever so lightly. I am going to keep GTBs or later in the back row. Nice to have an amp where you are not thinking in the back of your mind "it could be better if only the tubes were........."

Jimothya,

Great link to 6SN7 information! Thank you

Clio,

I was using a Cary SLP-05 ( a left over from the 805AE monos I sold). I found a used Atmasphere MP3 here on the Gon and I am using that full time. Enhances the accuracy and realism of the S. I liken it to a fine dry wine, full of flavor but not overly sweet or lush; clean without solid state edginess
