thanks Lon. I know that Decware offers the JJ tubes. Wish that I had thought of that before did my own search. I have Chinese tubes right now, and can't really fault them, but if I do change I would like to have a couple of other ideas. I did get ahold of some RCA tubes,but haven't tried them yet. Also, this amp uses 6sn7 tubes as well. Any thoughts?

JJ continues to receive bad press because of quality issues. I am running NOS Popes in my Mini Torrii and have had no desire to change. There are many excellent sounding vintage 6V6s so you decide what you like best.
