2nd owner, stock Sovteks, no fuss, no problem. I really like the sound, looks, and don't plan to change anytime soon. That being said, would like to A/B a First Sound Deluxe Mk III with this baby.
Hovland HP-100 Users
Do you use or have you used the Hovland HP-100? If so, do you find it to be overly tough on the tubes? The last couple sets of NOS Mullards that I installed seemed to get noisy rather quickly, after about six months. Have you experienced this issue?
Also, have you tried the EAT 12AX7's? They are very pricey!
