@dekzan Most of the guys I know that have tried other output tubes (including myself) keep going back to the SED Winged "C" EL34's. They seem to bring out the best in this amp.

These amps will probably sound better with KK66s ??

actually having a choke would have less compression since having a resistor as an inductor is what will give you sag. Chokes do not sag.

@utubefloyd - hmmmmm, I would say compression depends on the resistance of the choke - or the resistor. What I can hear when I replace a 470 Ohm resistor with a choke of 5 Henry and maybe 200 Ohms is - the choke filters out hum much better and gives more power/higher voltage to the amp. If you tried the 20 Henry choke - I'm sure there's more compression with this one. Remember that Robbne Fords Dumble has the resistor in the same place of the power supply to get more compression and sag! greets
Which mercury magnetics choke did you use? The 10H or 3H version?

@visceralvideos A/B'd them both, went with the 3H.

Do you happen to know which ECC83s would replace the pre amp section of the JVM 210H ? I looked inside and there are 2 with a 00055 and 3 with 00067 numbers in it. One of the 00067 has a cup cover in it. They come with a Marshall logo, but I wonder if you know the brand. Shuguang doesn't make ECC83s ??

@dekzan Any 12ax7 or ECC83 tubes will work. You want something with low microphonics in the V1 position. I use all Electro Harmonix 12ax7's in my preamp section, and think they work well in this amp, but that's just my preference.

Thanks. I just brought home a new JVM 210H. Do these tubes come in the amp from the factory? Can u please, give more details? Is SED a tube brand?

@dekzan Yes, SED is the manufacturer and they came in the amps from the factory. Do a search on SED Winged C.
