ok I guess I need a retube

[satch5150]

hi guys could you suggest some nice tubes for my Dyne? Mesa tubes are really expensive here (Poland) and for half the price I can get EXH, JJ electronic, Svetlana, Tung sol, Sovtek. I'm looking for low noise/ good reliability and kinda the same amount of gain. Could you suggest sth, I'm kinda new to tube amps

what did you choose in the end?
I prefer JJ and sovtek LPS's. Anyway I found tubes on ebay at around 180 USD direct for the Dyne but haven't bought yet.

I believe Mesa uses JJ, though they select them for certain criteria. Preamp tubes are reasonably inexpensive, so you should get a couple different kinds and try them out.

Many people like SED winged C for power tubes.

With my combo I need to remove the back panel to get access to the grill that protects the tubes. The port just isn't wide enough for me to adequately fit my hands and fingers to where they need to go in order to reach the clips that unlock the cage.
