looking to buy the tubes for my dr103 - want to spring for some reaklly nice sounding ones suitable for bass guitar
last year i had a thread at plexi palace where a military spec AT7 was suggested for the phase inverter but not really decided on the rest as i don't have the know how or experience so chime in if you have a good suggestion
any good sellers out there that youwould reccomend (must be new old stock not partially used)
thanks again

Tube tramp aka Sgt. overdrive -- I've gotten lots of great (and unusual) NOS from him, and even host a token web page:

Some would say you've presented an oxymoron

That's odd, perhaps he's on vacation or something. I sent him a note as well to see what's up.

Agreed, a good valve in the PI is very important. But I can definitely hear the difference between output tubes in a HIWATT when the master is pushed past noon.
