I have a 299D with the same tube setup. I restored it using JJ power caps and Dayton bypass caps. They were the budget end of it. The RCA 6u8's are what I have and you should not ever have to replace them. My 7591's are JJ's and they are not bad if you dont over drive them. I also did the 270k resistor. The 12ax7's I use Telefunkins on the pre amp part and I roll the phono ones between JJ and old RCA's. The JJ's in the pre stage were a bit tinny sounding. After 3 years there seems to be a hum developing. I will have to recheck my work and see where that is coming from. Maybe the JJ7591's are near the end of life. The 5ar4 is a sovtek. This is a strong tube and has held up for 2+ years. I had a JJ in there and it didnt last but 3 months and shorted. Otherwise, this is a good heavy amp for the wattage and easy to work on.
