I have determined that JJ's are probably the only 6V6's that will work reliably in this amp. I had a couple hundred hours on the original set so I installed a matched quad of NOS Marconi's. Two of them slightly redplated. I consulted with Brent at Dr.Z and Mike at KCA. I ordered a set of Tung-Sol reissues and a set of JJ 6V6S's. All four Tung-Sol's redplated. The JJ's worked fine. So considering the uncertainty of new tube production in general and the apparent decline in JJ reliability in particular it seems this is what I will need to do. I will buy several sets of JJ's and test/burn them in during rehearsals. When I get approximately 10 hours on each set I will remove, label and store them. That should get me through at least until the Mayan calender runs out. I've done this before with other tubes which is why I have a pretty good supply of stuff like older JJ EL84's and EI ECC83's. It's just a part of playing tube amps in the 21st century. I wonder if the guys with Remedys are having the same issue?

Yep...
I tried TADs, TungSol, and EH... JJs and EH work best for me in my Remedy. I haven't put enough time on the JAZ tubes yet. I have some NOS Sylvania but I didn't try them in the Remedy or the JAZ yet.
