NOS valves in a Croft preamp. A 'wow' moment!

[OD1]

Oliver,

please feel free to update this thread with your opinion about the valves you will install in your Croft preamp. Which valves will you be replacing? Standard JJ ECC83S?

Cheers,
Panos

I will be replacing new issue Genelex Gold Lion ECC83's.
In my system the JJ's seem to have higher gain (phono stage only) than all the valves I have swapped in (Mullard / TJ Full Music / & Genelex), could this be due to Glenn using these valves to voice the pre ?
