In Reply to: RE: Tube rolling preamp or power amp gain tubes, which ones (or both)? posted by 2121@comcast.net on January 17, 2017 at 14:54:10:
You will get a lot of different opinions as different people are looking for different things from there systems.
I agree with you on the Tung Sol KT120. And the Prima Luna EL34 are Shugang EL34b. Not a bad tube but not great at the frequency extensions. The Cifte and Brimar small signal tubes are an upgrade over the stock tubes so I would look to the power tubes at this point.
I believe the PL can take many different types of power tubes. I would try to put together two different sets, one a KT88/6550/KT90 and one a 6L6/KT66 type.
For the first type, I like the Prefered Series KT88 (same tube as the PentaLabs KT88SC), NOS EI KT90 (I think Tctubes still has some) or maybe GL KT88 (have not tried these recently but they seemed to be well liked).
In the second group, Gold Lion KT66, Prefered Series 6L6gc, or the new Tung Sol 7581A (which I have yet to try but are getting rave reviews for hi fi use) would be worth trying.
I know it is a major investment but you will have to try different tubes to find what you like. And it is nice to have variety.
Enjoy the roll!
