And very generally speaking, most people prefer the sound of the tall 6HM5 over the short one.

Thanks for tips . I'm going to get some Siemens or Tungsol tubes.

I just ordered the MK2 with the Mullard CV4010 from Massdrop before reading this thread.
I will use it with my Senns HD6XX. ¿Is it too warm or dark for these cans?. Actually i want a warm, soft sound with relaxed treble and maybe deep bass (if posible), but not boomy and excesive.

I'm asking because i think i still can change the selected tubes for the Jan5654W which is the second selectable option in massdrop.

What power tubes are you running?
As to the driver tubes,
You want warm and precision...look into the Western Electric 5654, expensive but smooth sailing.

It comes with the stock power tubes.
When ordering it I can only choose between the stock driver tubes, Jan5654w and CV4010, so I was wondering which one of those has a better approach to the sound I described.

I have both, I'd go for the jan5654w, they are all around wonderful. Now if you could find the cv4015, these Mullard are even better sound than both. Right now I am using the Siemens with the blue glass which are sounding even better than all of the above. But it's not by far so believe me you will love the jan5654w.

What about the power tubes? Stock Chinese? If so, you might get away for a while but you really need to swap those also for better pure power.
I have the voshkod 6h30p-i these are top notch that will yield you a tad of more power and clarity.

If you are wanting a warm sound definitely go for the Mullards. I have a MK2 and am using some old Osram Z77 tubes with it. These give a very warm sound so I'd recommend these if you can get hold of some. You would have to change the internal jumper pins setting to accept EF91/EF92 though, but this is easy to do.

In that case, I think you'll like the Mullard, they are warmer than the jan5654w.

[WilliamLeonhart]

Actually it depends on the default tubes that your amp is shipped with

EF95 is the one it is set for as standard

If I wanna swap my front tubes with Mullard CV4010 do I also need to swap the big/power tubes 6N6?

You can swap the driver tubes independent of the rear power tubes.
