So you do not recommend the stock tubes? Is it a specific change you recommend?

Better tubes will certainly give you better sound, in many cases more sophisticated sound. I do not know what tubes EAR uses as stock tubes nowadays, they might be acceptable. I bought my EAR near 10 years back, in London, and it came with EAR’s own rebranded Chinese tubes. They were OK but not great and there were a lot much better options.

The subject of 834P re-tubing is well coved elsewhere, with all expected candidates. I usually hesitant to give any recommendations for “improvement” if a request does not contain any defined and specific complain about the current results.
