I'll see what I can come up with but it's been almost a year since I had the 1.1

at this point the only thing I need to upgrade are my speakers, I will say though that the new gear has really given new life to my B&W's.

It's a vicious cycle...   :)

btw - just rolled the power tubes in it too :P

my new hi-fi shop had 4 matched Svetlana el34's... I talked him down $15 which made them as much as ordering online and shipping.

put em in an hour ago :)

I'm still shopping for new 12ax7's but the Svets are pretty highly recommended with my amp from what I've dound on AA...

definitely noticed a change but I want them to burn in for awhile before passing too much judgment. Off hand I'll say they sound more open, maybe a little more presence in the highs...

that's interesting, why do you run 2 different pairs on your outputs? I'm really just starting to learn so bare with the stupid questions :P

12AT7 and 12AX7 aren't the same type of tube.

Glad to be of assistance.  Did you get your local dealer to match Triode's price?

yep! worked out very nicely actually...

now I need to find some output tubes.... not a lot of 12ax7 recommendations for my amp out there.

Atleast with the 12AX7s you have a pretty good number of tubes to pick from after you decide what characteristics you're looking for.  Keep your eyes open for some 5751 triple mica tubes, I really love mine.

thanks Nick!

sounds like these svets take close to 100 hours to burn in. I'll probably spend that time researching 12ax7 brands for my amp and then figure out what will complement the amp's sound the best...
