My friend has just bought a new DRRI, which now comes with a Jensen speaker. It sounds pretty good as is but I see that you have picked up a DRRRI with a Weber 12F150 so that is no longer an issue.

But with the DRRI, a lot of people do change out the Groove Tube 6V6s as soon as possible as they are not always reliable. I have also heard it suggested that it is not a bad idea to swap out the stock rectifier tube.

I would suggest JJ 6V6s as they seem to offer best value. There is a wider range of choice for a replacement GZ34. There are innumerable threads on this topic.

You will need an amp tech to install the 6V6s as the amplifier will need to be rebiased. Not a big job. You can drop in pre-amp and rectifier tubes yourself.
