The 12AX7s and 12AY7s have less gain than the the 12BZ7s. 12AY7s and 12BZ7s are relatively cheap. Cary installs either Sylvania or GE NOS 12BZ7s. The Raytheons are a touch better. I'm now trying 12AY7s, but it's too soon to comment.You will be very pleased with your "R" upgrade. It becomes a very muscular amp, even in Triode mode. Try The Tube Store for a good NOS 12BZ7 selection.
