Hi all,

So I was messing around with the gf's new camera out of boredom, and I got it in my head to take a shot of the new power tubes I had just put into my dared vp-20s. I was always curious as to why people took very blurry pics of them until I was taking 3s exposures...

Anyways I felt like sharing the picture along with asking people more educated than myself about completing my tube complement for these great quasi monoblocks. I understand that tubes will sound different depending on the amp but I want to get off the right foot. If anyone can suggest the brand, variations, pros vs. cons that'd be great. I'm currently rolling:

RCA 6L6G-C (got a lightly used quad for $60, still pretty pumped about that)
Amperex Orange Globe 12AU7 (pair for $30)
Ruby 12AX7 (previous user's tubes)

Thanks for any help.
