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.

When I first started to play around with the Rhea, I liked the all Telefunken route. It was good enough to convince me that I needed an IO which I did purchase.

I did find another tube set I like better and it's cheaper to boot. In the first gain stage (v1 & v2), NOS EI's from vintage tube service. In the second gain stage, GE black plate 5751's and for V5, a Telefunken 6DJ8.
