Tube replacement for Peachtree Decco65


Just wondering what my options are if I want to upgrade to a better tube for my Decco65? I found that the unit uses a 6N1P tube. Is this interchangeable with say, a 12AX7? The reason I ask is I have a whole stock-pile of 12AX7s from my previous tube amp. Thanks!

Yeah, I began to think the tube preamp stage was more a marketing gimmick than anything else. That's not a criticism of the Decco, it was a decent integrated and DAC at the price but it's not the platform to hear what tube rolling can do.
No, as far as I know the closest equivalents to the 6N1P tube would be the 6DJ8 or 6922. The 6922 is what I used to 'upgrade' my original Decco integrated but I can't say that it made much difference in the sound.
