Hi,
Could you point me in the direction of some good threads (or links) to buy some additional tubes? Not that I am eager to immediately roll, but if there are things that are out there, good, and available, I'd rather buy them and have them on hand vs. waiting around months or years, then they are gone.
If you want to be kind to a novice, would love to know specifics (like a link to a specific product vs. 'just buy a 6922 that is compatible with your amp' - I don't know exactly what is compatible or what is good).
I'm happy to start with buying a set from the online store here (potentially just getting a clone of what the amp ships with) as well as some other options.
As a related question, there are three types of tubes on this amp, how does the life compare? As in, if the output and rectifier tubes are going to only last 2000 hours and the input tube will last 5000 hours, I would be happy to get more total output and rectifier tubes.
No specific budget. Not looking to go for the $200 NOS stuff, but if there is a really nice $50 tube vs a $20-30 one, no problem.
If it helps, I am more of a 'warm' guy than looking for sparkle or clarity. I'm all about mids and something 'pleasant' to listen to.
Thanks, appreciate the help!
Ken
