hey there
i am thinking of getting this to power the AKG K701s. the website offers the following tube upgrades:
i read on a few posts here that it is recommended to upgrade the tubes. i am pretty new to tube business, so i would be relying mostly on the expertise of the wise folk here.
would there be alternative tubes that offer a better quality/sound for the price, or are these tubes offered cheaper at local retailers?
