RE: Top Tube Combination for EAR 834P

I've been rolling tubes in mine off and on for ten years, and I've come right back to where I started, the designer's recommended 12ax7 in all three tube positions. In the past I've posted enthusiastically about an au7 in V3, and and 5751 in V1, but if it was ever the case that these tubes sounded better it was likely because my overall system was much less resolving than it is now, and those unorthodox tubes perhaps made up for the lack of resolution in some way by distorting the frequency response of the phono stage. As to tube manufacturer, the best I've found at the price I'm willing to pay are EI.
