I use Svetlana Winged C for the power tubes and Sovtek 12AX7WA for the preamp tubes. Those tubes restored the original tone for me. Much better than anything else I tried.

Yes those Winged C's are excellent!

I'm using Ruby EL34B-STRs and also really liked the TAD EL34B-STRs, same tube, different label. They have the nice EL34 mid crunch with good low end. Also for pres I like the Tung Sol in V1-V3 and Penta in PI.

Right now I'm running Tung Sol 12AX7 preamp tubes and JJ EL34L output tubes and mine is sounding real nice. A lot of options. The Winged C might be a nice option though. I've been wanting to try those....

zeusecho

Yeah the =C= are getting allot of praise...I need to try those as well.

My stock answer - Groove Tubes GTEL34M Mullard reissues. Preamp setup du jour is NOS RCA 12AX7As in V1 and V2, and Tung-Sol reissues in V3 and V4. I need to try the Winged C's sometime, too.

I am more a fan of the Winged C's than the JJ's I currently use. Winged C is classic marshall to me. Unfortunately the winged C's I have are pretty much dead, they won't bias below 55mV, will get myself some more soon.

Try Telefunken, you will love them!

Only problem with that is you have to buy them from a tube broker or off of Ebay. Depending on condition, expect to pay $80 to $100 per tube with no guarantee.

I buy a lot of NOS tubes and sometimes you take a hit. However, to me it's worth the risk.

I run 4 Tele EL84's in my DSL401 some of the time and RCA Black Plates at other times. I love to change out tubes and take the time to soak up the tone differences.

Try Telefunken EL34!!

I agree to you on Power Tubes.

I Love GTEL34M.
