*** Tube Rolling & Op Amp Considerations:
So far my favorite tubes for this unit are Raytheon 5654 tubes or GE Five Star 5654 tubes. I have tried RCA Black Plate 5654 tubes, Green Label Sylvania 5654, Green Label GE 5654 (these are the ones that are readily available on Amazon), Silver GE 5654, & Green Label Sylvania 6186 tubes in addition- listed in my order of preference. I really don't recommend the Silver GE5654 or Green Label Sylvania 6186 tubes, although the others had their merits, depending upon set up. For example, the Green Label GE 5654 tubes are a bit nimbler and smoother, but not too heavy handed; more of a feathery smooth. The stock 6186 tubes are worse than the others, but better than the bottom two listed I don't recommend.

Sparkos SS3602 Op Amps are a minor, but definite upgrade over the stock Op Amps and result in a more neutral, even, and HiFi presentation overall. You will need a riser for the back Op Amp Slot, and it barely fits. There will not be a lot of room in the chassis for Op Amps that are much bigger than the Sparkos. Hope that helps!
