I have the El34 20th Shiva and it came stock with Chinese tubes which I find harsh. I replaced those with JJs and the stock power tubes are EHEL34s. I had installed JJs but I went back to the EH tubes.

I am more interested in the preamp tubes and what you all have found to work best for you?

I too, didn't really jive with using ALL Chinese C9's in the preamp slots.

I kept the C9 in the V1 slot, because I feel that the springy-ness of the Chinese tubes are part of that Bogner signature sound.

I used a Sovtek LPS for the Phase Inverter.

And I used a combo of a NOS Westinghouse (rich and fairly dark) and another LPS for the 2nd and 3rd gain stages. Balanced it out, and took off some of that upper glassy-ness.
