Which kind of tubes do You prefer and why? How do they sound like? I'm thinking of replacing my tubes in my Mesa 400+ I think it uses 6L6 tubes, but I was wondering if I can replace them with different types to change the sound. Any experiences with changing tubes are welcome Mikkel Tiedt
I haven't changed the power tubes in my DB 728, but I'm getting close. I've heard really good things about the JJ/Tesla tubes from reliable sources, so I think I'm going to get a set of JJ KT88's to replace my aging Svet 6550's. The Svet 6550's are really good tubes, which is why Aguilar uses them as stock equipment, but I want to try something different. A good online tube resource with lots of links is www.unclespot.com. Spot is a local/Bay Area vintage amp tech that I was lucky to find. Good prices for JJ/Tesla tubes can be found at www.eurotubes.com.
Try this site: www.watfordvalves.com and look under the test results for 6L6/5881 tubes, paying particular attention to the results for bass applications.
