  | New Tubes! well we were practicing this past friday when i heard the ominous "microphonic squeal." Fuck No worries. I have placed an order for all new tubes (the guy I bought the amp from said the power tubes were new, but I've never heard of the brand...). Ordered: 1 Tung Sol 12AX7, 2 standard ECC83s (JJ) and one balanced ECC83s for the phase inverter (JJ). Additionally, I bit the bullet on some E34Ls (JJ), since I've heard and read great things. I doubt I'll get them all this week, but we shall see!  Ramen! |

| I was very close to trying out the KT77s, actually. They said they have a bit more low end, which isn't want i'm looking for  The E34Ls have a 'tighter' low end than the EL34s, and Bob recommended 'em, so that's what I went with. I can't wait to see how it sounds  |

| I just went with the Tung-Sol 12ax7 pre-amp and the JJ 6L6GC's and im quite happy with them. I might try the 2 KT66's and 2 KT88's next time around. |

| Nice man. I can't wait for my retube. My Cobra's already a super tight bass whore, so so I'm only interested in the KT77s for their different midrange characteristics. Aren't they more low-mid focused? I have my upper mids scooped. |

| I'm not too savvy with the mid 'range' of the KT77s . With that said, I LOVE upper mids...not sure how you scoop your out  anyone care to chime in re: KTs? I think the E34Ls will be great, but I might grab some KTs for shits and giggles in a paycheck or two. |

So I take it the KT77s have far less upper mids? I wouldn't need the extra bass either, amp's a bass whore. I know Jerich says he recommends them, and others on here have been quite happy, I'll have to search... | |

| tube type depends on the amp really and how it's voiced. Jerich had Gold Lion (VERY expensive tubes  ) KT77s in his Brunetti R-Evo for a short time but ended up going back to EHX EL34s. i played the amp when it had the KT77s, but i think it sounds better with EL34s |

| i'm running a pair of E34Ls in my single rec, and it sounds really good. the bass is nice and tight and stays that way when the volume's turned up. next time i retube, which should be soon, i'm going to throw a tung sol in V1 and hit the rest with JJs since i've heard good things about that combo. |
