    Default About to order new tubes for my BHHD head

    Right now it has Mullard RIs in it. They're good sounding set so far but I want to try something else which may improve on it.

    For pre-amp, I picked Tung-sol 12ax7 new production and for power, the Sovtek EL84M.

    Any opinions or experiences on them?

    Thanks and rock on.

    When I had mine, I retubed it with JJ's. Honestly, I didn't see much of a difference over the stock tubes; maybe a little bit warmer. Overall, the BHHD is a cool amp though.

    The stock tubes didn't sound too good compared to the Mullards.

    What the heck is a BHHD? Spell it out so us mortals can understand!
