Time to re-tube the Lexicon 284, any suggestions?

[mark123]

Tube's are getting a bit stale on the '284, if I had to guess they have around 1500 hours on them. Any suggestions for replacement?

JJ el84s... I'd get a mix of EH, Mullard and Tung Sol Reissue 12ax7's

First, if you have not modded your 284, then you MUST be aware of your power tube choice limits. Mr. KCA (Blue Strat) has more information on his site: http://www.kcanostubes.com/content/modern-el84-amps-and-nos-el84s

I did the mod on mine, and really enjoy being able to use my favorite EL84: '50s rX_ types from Philips factories in Heerlen NL, Sittard NL, and Vienna AT.
