EL-34 suggestions

Re: here's an update on the Winged "C" EL34s

If you want to give your Stereo 70 new life, I recommend the SED Winged "C". At the price they can't be beat.

I can tell you where I got my quad. PM me for details.

Is your supplier some kind of secret ?

No, it's not. I have no relationship or commercial affiliation with that company. I just don't see fit to give them free publicity.

Gentlemen

Just a casual observation. I've noticed in the past that when someone is a bit too enthusiastic about a certain supplier, vendor or brand they may be viewed as a shill. And now we're questioning why this guy is not disclosing his source. Hell, *if* he has a source for NOS tubes I couldn't fault him for keeping quiet! :para: Not criticizing anyone here, it just appears like a catch-22 that's all. MikE
 
Well, in the past I've been quite enthusiastic about services or certain brands of audio gear (not on this board tho). I've never had any commercial interest, however, there were always people questioning this and implying I was "selling" the product.

Just being a little bit more cautious now.
 
Just in case someone can set me clear on this; I was under the impression that EH was a label only and that they label other's wares. Do they have special "runs" now that are theirs exclusive to sell and are they using a single source?
I guess the same question for Ruby but think they are only Chinese.
 
I have no idea Thatch on the Ruby's. The quad says 'Made in Germany' on each tube.

I've had Russian (Sovtek) matched 6550 Ruby's for the Golden Tube Amp and have a set of 3 matched 12AX7 in the Audio Experience preamp - that don't say where they are from.

Cheers,
Russ
 
what am I - number 5?

Recommending the EH EL34.

Does it for me and the price is right!!

Not often you see this much agreement on a forum. Almost enough to make me post - oh - it was enough...
