Apart from that if someone were to sneakily replace my carefully selected NOS valves with others I'd rejected, I reckon I probably wouldn't notice the difference.
You can get really hyper about these things when you're "in the zone" and waste an awful lot of time and money.
That's what I reckon, anyway.
This is what im worried about. Are the changes going to be so small that it doesnt warrant all the extra money on posh valves.
I think i will sit tight and see how i go replacing the GE in the monos as the pre has a nice (and pretty expensive according to Blodger of this parish) nos sylvania in it already . Dont want to be wasting precious vinyl money if i dont have too.
Thanks
