Hi,


What a nice site ... I really appreciate the energy and the time spent !
I'd like to apologize for my english which is not that good 'cause I'm french but ...
Anyway, I own a 212-HD 130 for a month now and I've got several questions about it ...

First I'd like to replace the tubes ...
What kind of tubes do you recommend me ? (I like warm and crunchy sounds)
Should I put a new 12AX7R as preamp tube ?
Are the EL34 power tubes better than the 6L6 type (twin reverb type if they fit) for that amp ?
Which is the best brand then ... Groove tubes or svetlana ?

And concerning the 4/8 ohms switch at the back ... which setting is the best with my original speakers ? (I red the articles in the message board but still didn't get it ... : ) )

thank you so much if you can help me with my killer amp ...

haw, and by the way could you tell me my amp "age" ?
the serial nomber is C003239 and the chassis number is 2475 130EX



Thank you so much !
