Re: what kind of tubes
Try web page too. They have reviews on eveything. Both times I ordered from them I had the tubes 24-48 hrs later! BTW I went with Electro Harmonics and they have been great for both sound and noise.Comment

Re: what kind of tubes
My amp is a tsl 100 which I dig, but I wouldn't mind a gainier tube. I took out the stock tubes and put in some groove tubes out of my X100-b which I like alot but I dont know if I want to buy them again. Just wondering what everyone uses in "their" rig. thanx for the responses..

Re: what kind of tubes
I'm with Chuck, depends on what you have vs. what you want to hear.
I think it's always important to become familiar with exactly what you hear now compared to exactly what you want to hear, what difference you want. Then, you can really start looking for info on what tube might give you closer to that sound.Comment

Re: what kind of tubes
In my Marshalls, I liked the Chinese preamp tubes. Knowing what I know now, I'd shoot for the older NOS cheese grater getter style 12ax7s, new on ebay for like $5.99 and the power tubes I liked most were Teslas and later on I started using Svetlanas through the Tubestore.com...Comment

Re: what kind of tubes
I use the Eloctro-Harminic EL-34`s and 12AX7`s in the Pre-Amp. They are quiet and FAT sounding in my VHT pittbull CL-100 Combo. Jack.Comment
