Best Tubes for a 5150/6505?

[Dimebag11]

What's the general consensus for the best tubes to use in a 5150/6505?

I just won $1,500 playing some poker online and I'd like to snag a 5150/6505 to run alongside my Titan (I love stereo rigs)....I can grab a new 6505 for $800 but, I'm sure the tubes that come in it are just your standard sovtek or simlar POS....so, I wanna have it retubed and bias modded before it even gets to me

So, what should I get? (Preamp and Poweramp) I know I want a LOW gain preamp tube for the lead channel, as I use that as a "clean"

SED =C=

the SEDs are great in any modern amp. I like the JJ 6L6s in my 5150. Preamp tubes require some experimentation

alrighty....maybe I'll have to do some research on this

After a lot of swapping, I ended up with

Tung Sol in V1
JJ in V2
Chinese in V3 & V5
EH in V4

I run winged c 6l6s, a mullard in the PI, and chinese silver dragons in the rest of the pre. Ive heard some guys saying that a 5751 in V1 is good if you want to try to lower the gain. I use the lead channel for cleans as well.
