Removed the 2nd pair of coke-bottle 6SN7s and rolled in a set of the re-issue Tung-Sol. Have the coin-base Syl in 2 & 3 and the Tung-Sol in 1 & 4 and has tightened up the sound. Will be listing the coke-bottle 6SN7s. They are great for headphones in Woo amps, but not so much thru speakers. Obviously, YMMV.
Also, while the load is badly mis-matched (47K when should be 100ohm), there is plenty of gain with my Kontrapunk-b cartridge thru the phono-stage. Have a pair of JAN Phillips 12AU7s and the EH in the 12AX7 position. Will roll in the SUT before long to see how that helps. The K-b sounds a bit 'lifeless' with the 47K load. Volume at about 10 o'clock, so not that bad. Will also rolling in a set of the Sovtek 12AX7LPS to try at some point.
