Jolida 502B tube question

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I've had some recent bad luck with JJ TESLA KT88s and NOS AT7 and AX7 in in Jolida 502B (modified by parts connexion)..like within two weeks a preamp/power tube going, then, a power tube.. so im alittle gun shy wit tube rolling at the moment. I have the stock EH6550, EI preamp tubes and EH power driver tubes in.. my speakers are Rega Juras. I really liked the JJ TESLA KT88s, but at matched quad prices Im reluctant. Any thoughts on affordable and reliable replacement tubes that sound great. The Juras are detailed without harshness and have more bass than a small two way ave any right to have. can be a bit boomy at times.. I guess recommendations for tube dealers that you have also found to be the most reliable i terms of the quality of their tubes. I know there is no guarantee with tubes since they are delicate. I like the current tubes.. but I loved my JJ Tesla, Brimar, Mullard combo.. just the cost of ownership too high. Jolida checked out the 502B and said all is well with it. Thanks in advance.
