I have been trying some nos el84 teslas in my RxEs, it has seem to take some of the humming away from the originals that were in their. Just wondering if any one has tried any different ones? Also I'm running a binmar 12AX7 in the V1 sound pretty good to me.

i've been using Phillips Miniwatts in my original RX for the last 5 or 6 years but they have gotten really pricey. a lot smoother on the top than the groove tubes the amp came with. I was happy with those and other reviewers rated them high in el84 shootouts so i quit looking for alternative NOS to try and stuck with the phillips
I think i'm going back to new stock for power tubes and do any nos tweaks in the preamp where the tubes will live a while.

I hear you on that one, I think my teslas are fading a little, these little amps can run a little warm.

I had NOS JAN Philips and JJ EL84's in mine as a mixed bag. I recently put some 70's NOS Tesla's in and I love them. Much richer in the mids while retaining the sparkle and chime. Love the Brimar 12AX7's too!! Working great.
