Re: Stock EL34 tubes ID in Cayin A-50T

Thanks for the response.

I agreee that this amp can sound etched as it is now, but I am coming from solid state, so the extent may not be as great to me as it is to you. And I am hearing my crappy DVD player's glare and bloat as well... will be upgrading that tout suite.

I had heard that small-signal tubes were more involved in the sound character of an amp than the power tubes, and given that EH tubes generally seem to have the rep of being rather bright, I thought to start tuberolling there. Your experience goes to show that the most valid guide is how one's own equipment interacts with other components, and how one's equipment sounds to them. I will check out 6CA7 tubes as well as EL34s.
