Title: What Tubes Are You Using In The Repro and Eros?
Post by: rbwtapeinterlink-Bob on September 26, 2012, 02:45:08 PM

Hello all,
Just wondering what tubes (brand and model numbers) are you using in your Repro and Eros? Are they newer tubes or NOS? Did you arrive at your present choice by tube rolling, reviews or advice from others? Finally, how did your choice of tubes impact the sound you are getting now? Thanks for your response.

Hey Bob,

Here's a link to some tube comparisons I did a long, long time ago.
Since then, I've tried some others (can't really remember much other than a pair of Amperex EF86's right off the top of my head right now) but the TFK 806s and Amperx 7308 (orange globe right at the moment) are still my gold standard.
