I picked up a quad of matched el84 EH tubes at the Dallas guitar show a couple weeks ago. Just popped them into the Electra IV console. No more red-plating issues so I let it burn in for about five hours playing various Bluegrass music [ Tony Rice, Del McCoury, and Alison Krause New Favorite].

I really like the Alison stuff because it is so well recorded and lets you really hear true stereo recordings. The song new favorite has a guitar playing rhythm on each side using differnt fingerings but still playing in perfect sync. Verry cool.

The amp started to open up some. It can still be shrill at times but I think this is a product of the speakers not the amp or tubes. I layed in the floor to get a perfect stereo image with the short console you can't move much or you will lose the spot. I would also like to get a setup CD to use to make sure I have the balance perfect.

So far so good. Can't wait to listen some more.
