After lots of reading and asking for suggestions, I settled on Matched Sets of Genalex Gold Lion Gold Pins in both 12AX7 and 12AU7 to retube my VAC CLA1. The current tubes I have were purchased from VAC but at least one of the AU7s is very micro-phonic and I am not getting what I want out of the no-name Chinese AX7s. The Jan-Phillips AU7s are OK, but I am being told I am not at the full potential of this Pre with the current cheaper tubes. I got each matched set for $75 and hope to have them before the end of next week.
