The GE 6BZ7 is better than the JJs, many fellows had confirmed that so did I. Try some Siemens&Halske CCa Grey getter if you can, it is considered the best tubes for Lyr, have a look at the Lyr's tube rolling thread for more impressions about these awesome tubes, the voltage DC is not really a matter, choose which is suitable for you.

Get whatever tubes you want. I went GE 6BZ7. They're great out of the box.

 

Voltage is based on your country's standard. If you're USA/Canada, 115. If you're UK/EU, likely 230.

 

Very best,

Thats dangerous advice... "trying to run a 115V unit on a 230V will result in a blown fuse, no music, and a void warranty"

 

115V for US/CA, 230V for EU
