Hi-
Recently obtained an FYD Combo amp that has all JJ tubes:

V1 Ecc83s
V2 ecc81
V3 Ecc83s
V4Ecc83s
2x5881 power

Looking for a little more preamp warmth and max headroom in power section. This amp does have vol & master volume and a solid state rectifier.

Thank,

Gregg

I've got old RCAs in the preamp section and old GE's in the power section - sounds fantastic!

If warmth is what you want, the JJs are it. Those are some dark sounding tubes.

Hey Bear Try a pair of Tungsol 7581a's. In the power section. They give you a little more headroom. Seems to tighten up the low end.

Eurotubes is a good site for buying tubes.
