CAT SL 1Pre. Need confirmation re: Tube Complement

I would like some help regarding tube info on a CAT SL-1 MK 3 unit. If anyone has this unit, please tell me what the tube complement is in the V6 & V7 positions (line inputs). Is it 12AU7 or 6DJ8 types?

Is the MK 3 a HUGE improvement over the MK 2 unit?

All your help is greatly appreciated...

I see quite a few of what looks like 20 year old yellow polypropylene capacitors in my SL1. I mentioned this to my engineer and he said if this is true we will want to uprade them all.

Can anyone comment on this upgrade possibility?

Regards,
Carl

Just ask Ken, it might even be serial#-dependent. Cheers,

Any advise on brands of tubes that work well in the MKii. I have read that CAT preamps will eat certain brands. Any opinions?

Carl, Ken can be contacted at 585-359-2700. I am sure he can let you know if updates are available. From what I am reading I do not think I am going to get the update right now.
