I substitute a pair of Bendix Red Bank 6900 tubes for the 5687 tubes in the Modwright Phono amp.The tubes are expensive and not easy to find, but the results are a greater depth,presence and read very deep into vinyl reproduction.I would imagine the results might be similar for this amp.I would always check with Dan Wright first.I also use the same type of tubes in a Modwright Sony cd player and that has been a very positive experience.
For example,price wise,NOS pair on Ebay right now at 400.00 with 8 days to go.That is around what i paid for my tubes.Serious tubes-serious money.
