Can anyone recommend a truly magical tube for the ET-3? I ordered a new Electro Harmonix tube from CJ today but I would like to experiment with other tubes and I am willing to pay for best performance.
Cheers,

Sorry to hear of your problems. But I really have to wonder about the 350 hours. That does not square with my experience with CJ preamps, which have been so easy on tubes that I feel like I'm being OCD to replace them (once a year) "just in case.' Might there be another issue? Do you leave the preamp on 24/7?
