There are a bunch of kits for this amp available in the USA, using a variety of valves (brands), but Hot Roxx just said all JJ. Is there much mileage in different brands? It's the pre-amp valves that very most.
Last question: the V1 is often talked about making most difference, as is the phase inverter. It seems it's recommended that these are both balanced valves. Is that right?
Thanks. Appreciate your patience and advice!

Yes, different valve brands sound different. I'm personally not a fan of JJ preamp valves, but many people do like them. Their power valves are some of the more reliable though.

I always found the TAD 7025 HG quiet and reliable but of course, things change.
