Thanks for the input guys.
Those RCA 6SJ7GT look very nice.

Hello all, I just received a La Figaro 339 '2013' amplifier and when I turned it on, the left power tube doesn't light up. The sides of the left is white at the base and the other is silver so I guess that it arrived broken. There's some glass or ceramic rattling in the left tube as well.
Turning the amp on, both indicator lights were bIue. I checked the heat after turning them off and they were both hot... so does this mean that it might still work even if it doesn't light up? And is it risky to try to plug in a headphone when one tube does not work, or will the left channel just be quieter/silent?
Last thing; are the tubes for the stock and 2013 339 the same? And are the russian 'otk 1' tubes good? I know the chinese power tubes are not the best having gone through the thread, didn't expect to have russian tubes sent to me though.
Thank you for helping, I am looking forward to trying out the La Figaro!!
Don't try using that tube, it's defective.
...but not least, worth to mod this or upgrade to a something higher end?
