Doug,

I haven't been around an LS5 with other than ARC supplied tubes. As there are either 8 or 10 (depending on version) 6922s, you have a lot of options.

I did a bit of experimenting with the 6DJ8/6922s in my ARC SP10 and settled quickly on the Amperex 7308 and the Amperex orange globe 6DJ8. (But 6DJ8s may or may not be happy in the LS5.) Another promising 6922 is the earlier Russian 6H23-EB (the "EB" is important)- very nice.

If you could discover the key positions with the greatest effect on the sound, I might start with two very quiet and matched 7308s.

Cheers,

Bambi B
