I have been reading all the old threads and was wondering if anyone has any updated tube recommendations for a Traynor YBA200-2 head.

Tube recommendations for Traynor YBA200-2
- Thread starter dennq

Hey there,
I own a YBA200-2. I replaced the V1 preamp tube with a JJ ECC81 and V2 with a JJECC83.
The ECC81 really brings the gain threshold down, giving more clean headroom, with no noticeable drop in volume. It also really warmed up the sound, with much more low-mids, and a smoother top end. Haven't touched the power tubes yet, but I'm looking at replacing them with JJ KT-88s, or maybe winged C's
