after much experimentation I agree RCA Clear top Side Getter for signal, Drivers not as important go with GE JAN 6189 set. The newer primaluna integrated are all 12au7 tubes. You can purchase the above 4 tubes via ebay about $40-$60. Make darn sure you are actually 2 RCA clear tops. Look at the pictures. There are those who sell "matched sets...where only one of the tubes is an RCA clear top. The other is usually devoid of printing.
tube recommendation please
I am brand new to tubes and need some advice. I have a PrimaLuna Prologue three which use two 5AR4, two 12AX7, and two 12au7. I listen to female vocal mainly, hopefully I can get bigger sound stage, and smooth and warm vocal.
I start off with the 12ax7 and ordered a pair of Tungsram produced in 1967. I am also planning to get a pair of 1960's Amperex, but I am waiting for some more reasonably priced.
My question is .. what should I get next? Should I upgrade the 5AR4 or the 12AU7 next? and is there any suggestion on those tubes?
