Could sound better

What brand? Maisel's Hefe is a good one!!

Cheers!!

Imbibing Fortaleza requires late night carne asada tacos!! Just an FYI!! If you wanna do it right!!

My slightly modded Jolida jd100 sounds great. I recently rolled in some Voice of Music branded 12ax7a's, I think they're sylvanias after using some ge 5751's for some time. The slight gain increase made a big difference.

A Raytheon black plate 5814 is nice for the center position too!! kt120’s gave me a taller sound stage.

Oh man! I need to find a nice brimar then!!

IMHO which is squat! Replace the caps and try another amp. If you choose SS, try some Jupiter beeswax caps in the mids. Another option Is a nice small tube amp. Horns and tubes are a match made in heaven. IMHO. cheers.

Amped, find a balanced black plate d getter/foil cbs hytron for the center position. You'll like it👍 For the side preamp position I'm running some black plate 12bh7's. they seem a little more engaging. Cv4003's are hands down excellent tubes. Cheers!!

What tubes are you running in that st-120?

I push my modded Cornwall ii's with an Bob Latino st-120 with kt-120 power tubes, 2 12bh7's, and 1 Hytron 12au7 in the center position on the preamp stage. I enjoy the sound. Sometimes I roll in a 6189 in place of the Hytron depending on the recording. The 6189 gives me more treble. All this in triode mode.

Dustin, what tubes are you running in your st-120? thanks.

Try a Jolida jd100. Mine sounds great, I recently rolled some Voice of Music branded 12ax7a's in and I'm hearing stuff on my favorite songs I've never heard before.

Have a listen to this talent!
