Tube Recommendations for Counterpoint 5000 & 220?

What tubes do you recommend for these units. I will not be using the phono stage in the preamp.

Thanks.

Perhaps a PQ, 7308 or one of the other classics? Both use 6dj8 variants and you will definitely want to swap out the other tube too (cheap and well-worth it to go NOS)... Enjoy! If you want any really specific suggestions or notes, just ping me directly... Jacob

The Eliott recommendations cover current production tubes and some rectifiers in detail, but won't allow tailoring of NOS tubes to your system, so you are probably better off by letting the Audiogoners know what you want from the tubes. Since these both use 6dj8/6922/ecc88 you have a LOT of choices...
