So, anybody have suggestions on tubes? I'm not an audiophile. My
hearing isn't good enough. I don't think matched pair tubes would make
any difference to me ears. But I can hear well enough so a fairly high
quality tube set would be desirable. And I do think I should get a
pair so that they will hopefully last tghe same amount of time.
Thanks,

The Russians make pretty good EL34s these days, but I prefer the old 6CA7s. I still have a small stash of those left.


**Me too. I have a bunch of those steel, MIL-Spec ones.

Wow, never saw a 6CA7 metal tube. Learn something new every day. I also have a sleeve of NOS 8417s that I used in a Fisher for a customer many years ago.
