Hey Bill,
That's one great looking gear you got there. I hope you'll have fun rollin'

There are crap loads of tube-nuts in AA and they'll all tell you different sound characterics of each tubes.

Of all the tubes that I've tried EH produced "tube sound" that I've always imagined. Other tubes such as Tung-Sol (12AX7), and JJ Tesla (6DJ8) had produced more cleaner/neutral sound in my system. JJ TESLA E88CC are cheap enough for you to swap all 6. Maybe they'll work great for ya. I'm just not too sure about getting NOS and having them matched, since the NOS INV is usually low to begin with.

Thank, Hiro. As for RFI, I have the Line 1 plugged into my Pure AV its own filter bank, attached by a PS Audio 'Punch' shielded cable, so here's hoping. Also, I have set of Bright Star Isonode anti-vibration feet I'm going to attach. And I'm mulling a set of Pearl Tube Coolers -- any insight there?

Thanks for the Electro Harmonix suggest for a tubier sound, and for the JJ suggestion. The Parts Connexion honcho and former Sonic Frontiers president, Chris Johnson, recommend a full set of Reflektor NOS 6H23P-EB's which would run $140 plus shipping, etc; I don't think I'm going to jump for that right away.

Glad you're enjoying your stull too. Still looking for an integrated, maybe the Stingray?
