I need to replace the power (el34) valves of my orange ad30tc. Can anyone recommend a particular valve ? Also has anyone heard of "golden dragon" valves. These are the preamp (ecc83) valves my amp was supplied with. arnt chinese valves supposed to be dodgy ?

I think Golden Dragon are only the suppliers. These are usually stock tubes. The obvious replacement would be the Ruby Tubes which most shops keep.

I just tubed up with Tesla's all around. Pretty sweet tubes, and really well priced too, check em on ebay. Remember, your AD30 has el84's not 34's.

What tubes come stock in an AD30?

I just replaced all of the stock tubes in my AD30TC with Groove Tubes. I also changed the preamp tubes from 12AX7's to 7025's which really gave me a lot more bite in my tone. Orange encourages us to try different combinations to find the exact tone we're searching for.
