Primaluna Prologue Two

I have just purchased a Primaluna Prologue Two Integrated and I must confess that I like what I'm hearing so far. The world of tubes is new to me and I have heard so much about how one can tweak the sound by rolling tubes. My first question to which I hope to get a straight answer to is?. Are the Primaluna tubes that come with the unit bad to the point of warranting a complete tube change. Looking at the Upscale Audio site under tubes the primaluna tubes are on par with many others in so far as price. Second question if there are any owners of the Prologue Two what tubes have you changed and what have been the benefits of the change, also what tubes make the biggest difference. I will eventually like to change all of the tubes but not at the moment, so were do I start and get the most sonic improvement for my investment.
Thanks

I would burn the amp for like 100 hours at last to begin with. After that change all that shity tubes that she came with.

You will be shocked hou PL2 sounds like after tubes upgrade, its much lifelike, controlled, musical and all that.

I highly recommend NOS Mullards 1950-60's made 12au7 and 12ax7. As for KT88, the best are NOS GEC KT88 or EAT made. The best EL34 are NOS TESLA and Mullards.

If you can effort, go for the best.
