It's not needed. In fact, the MKII I bought from Massdrop comes with the cv4010 and the stock power tubes.If I wanna swap my front tubes with Mullard CV4010 do I also need to swap the big/power tubes 6N6?

just bought a used LD1+ that comes with a pair of mullard cv401 and burr brown opamps. just got a ge jan 5654w and voshkod 6zh1p-eb thanks to this thread!
What headphones are you using and have you tried changing the gain switches?I noticed with my LD MKII, when i set the volume knob over 40% it starts to distort badly and the bass sounds unpowered. Anyways, at 40% the volume is very high and uncomfortable, but I would want to fix this for music or movies with higher dynamic range where I need to put the volume higher.
I guess the problem is I'm using the stock chinese power tubes.
What power tubes can I pair with the cv4010 I'm using right now?
I can't expend more than $50 right now.
Thanks.

I'm using HD6XX with the higher gain setting. I didn't try the other gain configurations.What headphones are you using and have you tried changing the gain switches?
I'm considering trying some 6DJ8 tubes instead of the 6N6p as power tubes in my LD mk2. Can I just replace them or do I have to make any adaptations etc? Thanks
Thanks for the heads-up on that. I'll probably try a pair just to satisfy my obsessive curiosity. Is there a big difference in sound quality (good or bad) with the 6DJ8? I guess it depends on the make. Any recomendations for a (cheapish) decent make?They are plug and play in the LD. However, the 6DJ8 is not nearly as powerful as the 6N6p and therefore, when used as output tubes, they may not be able to drive inefficient and/or low Z cans well.
