Any 12AX7 will work. They are plug-and-play.
Any EL34 will "work." But you MUST BIAS THE AMP if you put in new tubes.
 
For power tubes:

You can use TAD EL34B-STR, i think they have exatcly the same construction of Ruby EL34BHT.

For preamp tubes if you can't find Ruby:

Highrade TAD for V1,V2 the rest normal Shuguang (Ruby select them)

;)

P.s. Sovtek WB in V1 for a more smooth sound.
 
thanx everyone for your quick responce...but should i re-bias when i put the el434 or not if i use the exact tubes that i have now?
 
Things float and vary - I always always always recommend a re-bias with any new quad.

Just my 2 cents.
