Edwin, look here for the tubes' schematics and specs:

nice.. how much are those amperexes?

[Edwin 0]

$400 for the lot... Was eyeing them too but out of my budget...

Edwin, you getting in for MJ amp right, the input tube is in theory affect the sound more.

So huangyong I should concentrate on the input tube? How about the 2 other output tubes???

upgrade input than output tubes. garbage in, garbage out principle applies.

i've tried switching b4, and i realised in the mj itself, different output tubes had quite distinct differences apart from input.

 

using 1 china 6n11 vs 1 eh tube, one channel was very much brighter and thinner sounding than the other

 

probably its the simplicity of the MJ design and a direct tube output -> earphone which results in quite audible changes.

 

gave me quite a problem when i was tube rolling, the sound's a combination of both a percentage of input tube and output tube

Hmmm.. if the output tubes affects the sound in each channel, it's better to get a pair of matched tubes for outputs rite?

matching is an ideal situation. but for nos-tubes its a little harder to find. and slightly costlier

Yes, try to ask the retailer to get a matched pair. Otherwise, you might experience channel imbalance owing to difference in gain.
