Alright guys I am looking to replace all the tubes in both of my MC275s and the C2300. I know this topic has been covered here on AA and I've been searching for the threads but I still have so many questions. I know that I want to go with all Gold Lions for this first purchase and go around.

First the C2300: I am using a MC cartridge in my TT so can I just leave the stock tubes for the MM stage as is? Will these stock tubes add additional noise inside the pre-amp that would effect my line stage and MC sage?

Second: I like the look and presentation of tube depot. It makes better sense to me.
You get these options like: Balanced Triodes, High Gain, Low Noise & Microphonics, & Matching.
However I much prefer the prices I see on BNBs eBay store. But you do not get these options or at least to the point I can tell.

so Third: Do I need all those fancy things or can I just buy the correct tubes at the best price and everything will work perfectly?

Fourth: Where in the world did Bob go?
