I agree that this is system dependent. I also have found that the initial “just use the same old H1 set” is faulty. The 360 is a very different sound from H1. It makes sense that some rolling may be in store for many of us. I am honing in. I dont think a full new set is necessary, but if you find the 360 different, why not try some other tubes you have on hand?

What were your top dog tubes in the H1 and which ones are your preferred tubes now in the H360?

Why don't you rather tell us how your 360 is doing? And with what tubes...

I am still rolling around. My issues are perhaps not shared by many as I have a small room and thus bass issues, which the 360 exacerbated. But it brings so much good to the table, it is a worthy trade off. I started by going back to the 2504 recti which improved things. Now experimenting with Gollums Ecc32 and the 31, which I also love. I am using the e55l as well, which are marvelous tubes

I have a smallish room as well plus I have the 9 volt version of the H360 before people found they had clipping and Lukasz reverted back to 5v output. Having said that I have found no need to change my tubes. In fact I sold an NOS quad matched set of brown base Mullard ECC32 as I still am using my Valvo G2504 solid plate, TFKN EF802 and TFKN E55L. My preamp had no issues

I have the 9v version too, but no preamp so this is not an issue for me, nor the source of bass problems. M main room issue is that i cannot put treatment where the main issue is due to unique function of the room. I am currently using the ef802 and e555l as well. Wonderful tubes. Experimenting with Ecc32 and 31 as well, though.
