Lamm L2 Reference tube recommendation

Rod, its funny you say that. Both days the DHL girl delivered she said she couldn't lift the package because she hurt her back. I had to unload it! Why would a company send out someone that can't even do the job? Unbelievable!

Mr M- A handicapped female gorilla? LOL! They delivered a package to me once, and I wasn't home: The box was 10x10x10 and the space between my storm and front door is 7". I had to repair the storm door, because they forced it closed with the box between. Then they had the nerve to try and charge me extra for residential delivery after I paid shipping to the seller(they've tried that 4 times- never collected). I no longer deal with sellers that insist on shipping via DHL.

I replaced the stock Sylvania 12AX3 with RCA. The sound seems significantly more organic with less bite, yet not lacking in any detail. More midrange and upper bass warmth.

I'm not trying to be a smart guy but could you explain to me what "sound seems significantly more organic with less bite means"

Sure. The sound with the stock tubes sounded a bit sterile and mechanical, with an emphasis in the treble (the bite). The sound with the RCA 12AX3 has less treble emphasis, and perhaps a bit of emphasis in the mids (more organic and less sterile).

The changes are subtle, but easier on my ears.

Anyhow, I like it better.
