I know this is a topic that will come up quite frequently so I might as well get my stab at it while everything's still fresh. It's come to that wonderful time of year when I need to think about changing the tubes in my 5150, they aren't going stale by any means I'd just rather get my mind made up now and have less worry when it needs to be done.
I know quite a few guys around here have experience with this amp and therefore will have some knowledge to share, I currently have Ruby 6L6GCMSTR's in it with Electro Harmonix 12AX7's in the Pre-amp. What brand and model tubes are you guys partial to in a 5150?
Also I'm a little curious as to getting a gain reduction tube in one or more of the pre-amp slots, and I need an educating into phase inverter tubes and such.
A little much in one thread, but oh well, I never get too much feedback anyways.
