Tube Recommendation for a '92 Dual Rec

[nephilim616]

What seems to be the most acceptable answer for the tube set on first year (Rev F specifically) Dual Recs? I've owned my Dual 'Racto' for about a year now and I've been wanting to replace the 5881s and preamp tubes that have been in it for 30+ years with some new ones.

All roads lead to various different brands/tube combo amalgamations (Genalex, JJ, Ruby, Mesa, etc.) so I'm having a hard time trying to find a decent combo that will sound crushing with my rig.

I used / liked the Sovtek 6L6 - WXT+'s

Winged C EL34’s sound KILLER in two channel Rectos.

What tones are your reference point, specifically, ike Albums/Songs/etc.?

Good luck finding a quad that aren't "factory seconds".
