Vcoheda's linked the right place.
So far the CV4015 (Mullard) and Russian 6c19-B have been a good pairing. Some have liked the stock tube pairing. We're all contributing experiences with different pairing etc.
Even with only driver and power tubes to exchange there are lots of choices.
Post your experiences in the rolling thread . ..

I have tried the 4015, CV 131 drivers with both the stock power tubes and the Russion -Bs and my favoriate combo is the stock powers and the 4015s. Lots of speed and accuracy but still a nice tube feeling. The Russian -Bs tighten things up more but the sound is even more impactful but too solid state sounding for me. Boils down to personal preferences really.

BTW, I have heared of the Corda Opera that offers "balanced" type sound through a standard headphone jack. Sounds like a cheap way to go balanced without spending a crazy sum of money. It would be nice if Little Dot released an amp with a similar spec

Thanks for the help. Where can I find the Russian 6c19-B tubes? I can find the CV4015 Mullard tubes but not the Russian 6c19-B tubes.
