Hi

I currently have a pair of Focal clear MG headphones and have the chance to purchase a McIntosh MHA200 but the valves (12BH7A) need replacing could anyone recommend which make and the best place to get them I’m based in the UK.
Thanks.

Hello,
I have an MHA 200 and a big box full of tubes that I’ve tried.

Tubes really matter for the MHA 200. It’s worth experimenting a bit to find the sound that complements your headphones.

Here are my top picks:
In current production:
For the 12AT7’s. Gold Lion reissues
TAD 12BH7A Redbase

Out of production:
For the 12AT7’s Siemens E81CC
For the 12BH7A RCA long black plates

I am currently running Gold Lion 12AT7’s and RCA 12BH7. The Siemens and TAD combo is also excellent.

I also have the Mullard CV4004 which would work well with the TAD 12BH7A’s.

Let me now if you have any questions.

Tom
