RE: Marantz AH! Tjoeb '99 Cd-38 tubes

I can unreservedly recommend the JJ E88CC (6922).

You can spend big bucks on NOS 6922s, but there's no need. The JJ sounds so good it replaced all the Telefunkens and Amperex in my system. They're inexpensive as well. Figure on @ $60 - $70 per pair.

The tubes in the AH! are merely a buffer and as such they do NO amplification. So big money spent on top-shelf testing tubes is probably a waste of money.

And yes, that was a great player. I had one for over ten years. I gave it to a friend after I bought a Primaluna. That friend is still using and enjoying it.
