AK'er jguzman and myself are both itching to try out the tubes we went halvsies on. I'm waiting to get the tubes and John's waiting to get the amp. I think this tube looks killer. Hey Ron maybe you should try a pair of these.
Yes Mike I've currently got a pair of EH straight bottle EL34's and a pair of Sovtek brown based EL34's. Hopefully I'll have these fat bottle ones by this Friday.
Mike, I have a local friend with a ASL "super amp" that uses EL34/6AC7/KT88/6L7. I'd be happy to ask him if he's tried 6ac7s in his amp. He has a considerable collection of very fine tubes.
