I've been though tons of preamp tubes over the years. I use JJ's because I like them. It's a great balance of my tone. Nothing really lazy about it. Some people experiment forever and are never happy. The thing is if you are happy with your tone that's the important thing.
Remember, one persons tone is another persons tone turd.

RE: preamp tubes and brands --- I found the biggest improvement in my USA HRD came from using a 12AT7 in place of one 12AX7. They are cheap - experiment. The second best improvement came from mounting a Celestion in place of the awful stock Eminence speaker.

I found the 12au7 best for me in V1. As soon as I got mine I ordered the Avatar G112 with Hellatone 60 speaker. It is really a broke in vintage 30 relabeled. I have had my amp now about 3 - 4 months and the other day I unplugged the cab to try it. The Eminence sounded great I think because it is now broke in too. I play everyday so it has many hours on it now.
