EDIT: choose the Winged "C" (SED) 6L6GC
Second Edit: Winged C tubes were to dark and I sent them back. Happy with the Sovtek tubes now actually.
Recently got this Mesa/Boogie M-190 power amp from Koobie, here on TB. It is fairly rare. The M-180 has a preamp. This is a power amp only.
I use a Hughes and Kettner BATT tube preamp into the M-190. The BATT kills !! I have two of them.
I want to splurge and get great tubes for the M-190.
Currently, it has Sovtek 5881 tubes. I have heard that 6L6GC's are fuller/fatter.
I am not sure how important the two smaller tubes are to the overall sound.
I am thinking in the $100 - $300.00 range. Would prefer closer to the $ 150.00 range of course.
Considering:
JJ 6L6-GC
TAD 6L6GC-STR
Winged "C" (SED) 6L6GC
Would KT88's work?
This amp does have a bias pot.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
