    Nomad Mods - A Visual Reference

    Change the 22 uF capacitors in the preamp high voltage supply to 47 uF, change them all. This will eliminate the hum, buzzing noise, and will get rid of the muddy sound. Hey thanks for the reply Soundguruman! I will get to swapping out the caps soon and see how she sounds.

I've tried 6L6's and EL34's and also prefer EL34's too. I know one more pin is utilized on the EL 34's so my guess is that would be the mode to...

    Nomad Mods - A Visual Reference

    What would be the best tubes for the nomad 55 post mods? I currently have jj audio el34s for the power amp section and electro harmonics 12ax7's in the pre-amp section, with a Phillips 12at7 in the last slot.
