Brought in my son's '99 HR Deville for checkup and possible tube replacement. Any suggestions for tubes, both the 6L6s and the 12AX7s?

Just put some Mesa Boogie 6l6GC tubes in my HOt Rod Deluxe and it is like a whole new amp, no joke. My stock tubes were new as I just bought the amp but after a few days realized it sounded thin, a little flat and harsh. After the mesa boogie 6l6 tubes were out in it sounds just as good as many $2500 boutique amps I have tried (clean channel) - Amazing transformation.

I bought them from Mesa's web site as I was going to put fresh tubes in a Express 5:50 but returned the 5:50 when I bought the HRD as it gave a slightly better clean and reverb than the mesa. Now with the new tubes it sounds much BETTER than the $1300 mesa amp in the clean channel.
