Best Mods for ART Tube MP

[Fel1Z]

Hello,

I wanted to ask you what are the Options to Upgrade an Art Tube MP?
I recently changed the Tube to a ECC81, this made a nice difference. Are there any other recommended upgrades?

Thank you and all the best
Felix

No idea if it makes any improvements though, never tried it.

The funny thing is that this isn't a tube preamp at all...
Most amplification is done by the transistorized input amplifier.
They probably added a tube to add some 'tube distortion'.
I don't have the impression that the suggested modifications will result in a significant change of sound.
The modifications are typically what the 'phreakz' suggest...
I think the best modification is to bypass the tube!
