In Reply to: RE: tube choices on CJ integrated amp posted by Eli Duttman on March 15, 2012 at 18:16:22
I did some searching on the internet and also talked to a tube store here in Denver. All pointing to Gold Lion KT77 reissue by New Sensor. Do you think it will give a more transparent tone and more live sound (bigger soundstage) compared to the EH EL34 in the CJ amp?
Also any comments on the TungSol 6SN7 current production?

Can't say about the CJ. The "reissue" GEC KT77 is the best EL34 class tube currently being made. Go back a few years and SED (=C=) EL34s and JJ E34Ls were definitely "on the table". JJ's current Octal production is, at best, VERY inconsistent. :> (( SED may not be making any tubes, whatsoever. ;> (
The "reissue" TungSol 6SN7 is a good tube. If you want to mess around with affordable NOS, build or buy adapters for Loctal base 7N7s. Disregard the branding on Loctal tubes, as all of 'em were made in Sylvania's Emporium, PA, plant. ;> )
