Re: 12BH7 in McIntosh MC-240

Catfish,
The 7027A RCA will give the most power, near 60 watts but the tube cage may not fit as some of them are tall. The 5881 Sylvania/ Tungsol/GE s work well as does the GE-6L6GC. Earlier versions of the 6l6 may arc over or worse. Some new style poly caps will improve the sound and the power supply caps must be up to spec if the amp is to sing. Audio Classics stocks the power supply caps, Antique Radio supply has the poly caps.
