Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ?


I have developed a high pitched hiss from the stock Sovteks which came with my unit. I believe its at least two or more of the 12ax7s which are in the first input gain stage as I hear it more or less equally out of both channels. I was wondering if any Rhea owners have rolled the tubes in their units and, if so, what prompted the swap and what success you have met with.

Just wanted to share the tube compliment I came up with. DEAD quiet, nice sparkle on the top, holographic soundstage and very nice air around the instruments.

V1,V2 & V3 - Sylvania 12AX7
V4 - Brimar 12AX7
V5 - Amperex 6922/6DJ8 (1961)

All NOS, matched pairs. Took a few months but worth the challenge.
