conrad johnson mv60 retube

Hi All,

I just installed a set of winged "C" output tubes in my mv60 and it sounds glorious. However, I'm guessing it can sound even better with the addition of either new or NOS 6sn7's and 12AX7A's. (want to ditch the original Sovteks) Anyone have a positive experience retubing this amp? (or negative results)

BTW- running a pv-5 preamp and thiel 2.3's

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the tip on the Genelex Gold Lion 12ax7! However, the mv60 uses 12ax7a's (I don't think this will be a problem, but would like to make sure before plunking down $90.

BTW- now have a set each of NOS tung-sol and GE? chrome domes for the 6sn7. Both were a major upgrade from the Sovteks

Try the JJ 12AX7's or the 603's are even better....
