Line Magnetic 219ia & 518ia tube rolling


Hi everyone,

I luckily have both of these amps. I am in heaven with both. But as is the nature of the hobby I'm wondering if there is another level. I'd like tube advice. I'm planning to swap out the 12ax7s with RCA black plates or Telefunken smooth plates. Any other significant swaps that you can recommend?

Thanks,
Michael

Wow you have two great amps. I have the 216ia (push pull). Don’t know if I would not work to change speakers or source to upgrade sound. Just a thought not knowing what you have.

BTW I have tried NOS GE, RCA and Sylvania tubes with great luck. Also swapped in Genelex Gold Lions KT88s....they are very good.
