The VT100MKII comes from the factory
with 8 Svetlana 6550C power tubes and 8 Sovtek 6922 driver tubes.
I purchased all of my tubes from TheTubeStore.com.
They have an outstanding website and excellent service. For the driver
tubes I decided to use JAN-Philips 7308 Low Noise tubes in place of the
stock Russian Sovtek 6922's. The 7308's are a rugged military replacement
for the 6922 tubes. JAN means "Joint Army Navy" and the tubes were
made by Philips. I used Russian made Svetlana 6550C power tubes which
is what the Audio Research factory uses.
