I have a pair of VZN 160 monoblocks. I'm tube swapping and wanted to get the benefit of someone's experience. Thanks.

Hello,
Check out "Joe's Tube Lore" in the FAQ here at the Asylum. He's pretty much right on as far as I'm concerned. I have a Joule VZN-80. Also, you can call Jud Barber and ask his advice.
Cheerio,

Agreed re: Joe's tube lore. I was just looking for synergistic matches and was hoping that some Joule users had some experience. What 6dj8's or 6922's do you use? Thanks.
Thanks for the lead. I'll have to try some 5751s in place of the 12ax7s in my phono preamp. However, I've designed both an OTL and the phono preamp each of which could accept either 6DJ8's or 6BK7's in one or more stages with similar overall performance and I found the 6BK7 much the better sounding tube in all four locations than the 6DJ8 which I thought was somewhat sterile and lacking inner detail, even the white paint Amperex bugle boys I had.
