What’s the Cats Pajamas, these days?

She still has all the PM stuff in. I didn’t hate em, but I’m sure there’s gotta be better out there.

What says yous?

Well..... what's your budget?

I've heard & read of people buying "better" valves and ending up sticking the PM back in.

In terms of new production valves, I believe they're there or there about.

Where are you? UK, USA?

It's personal choice really.

I've used Ehx tubes for years and really like them but I've also used JJs and Grove tube tubes came came in my Rv50 when I had that, all good.

I'd just make sure you buy a matched set of power tubes.... These will still need biasing.

Maybe I’ll just go with a JJ set all around then.

They ain’t fancy, but they dependable.

Ive got JJs throughout my Orange amp, and happy with it. They work well, sound good.
