need help with change tubes to my 5150

[hellraiser85]

Hi! I need to retube mi 5150 and I'm searching for the best option. I've seen this option from Eurotubes:

"Standard retube which includes a matched quad of the JJ 6L6GC's and 5 ECC83S's with one of them balanced for the phase inverter in V5. Smooth out the harsh mids and tighten up the lows!"

Has someone tried this configuration? There is a great improvement in the sound? I like the "standad" sound of the 5150, so I don't want that the tone changes very much, but I would like that it had more clarity and punch.

Thanks!

I have JJs in mine and it sounds great, still that classic 5150 sound.

Here's what I presently have in my 5150

V1 Tung Sol
V2 JJ HiGain
V5 Tung Sol
V3 Tung Sol
V4 (PI) Sovtek LPS

Pwr JJ

I think the slightly darker JJ Pre is well suited in the 5150

retubed mine with JJs and got rid of a lot of fizz.

What do you guys think of Groove Tube 6L6's?

Groove Tubes just buys and relabels tubes, so as I understand it there's very little consistency in their sound (though I'd imagine they only use quality tubes from whoever their suppliers are)
