Seeking advice from those who have Jolida 502 integrated amplifiers. I know nothing about tubes but should be receiving a used Jolida 502B integrated amplifier in the next few days. I will be using them to drive a pair of 88 db efficient monitors and I have a small Velodyne sub as well. I believe the amp will have the stock Jolida 6550 power tubes (maybe KT88s) and 12AX7A preamp and 12AT7 power driver tubes. Any advice for upgrades as well as retail sources for tubes would be much appreciated.
