While you're there get some NOS 12ax7's (you may want to double
check what it uses), but don't spend a fortune. Just get a variety. I
got a 12ax7 Groove Tubes tube from a pro audio shop the other day which
was a bad decision.
Groove Tubes tubes are very good tubes, but they are designed and
selected for a totally different usage. They are for guitar amps, where
you want 'good distortion' There is a very informative article with the
Groove Tubes' founder in a recent Tape-Op where he talks about how they
differ from reproduction tubes. Guitar amps are supposed to distort.
And the frequency response of a guitar amp is nothing like what
audiophiles want.
