In Reply to: Stock EL34 tubes ID in Cayin A-50T posted by R7 on April 19, 2007 at 16:17:50:
I have one in my bedroom for almost 2 years. May be I didn't burn them in enough but the stock power tubes are pretty bad sounding (or have no synergy with the amp and the four double triodes in the preamp stage) - no details, loose bass, "uninvolving" mid-range and extremely dry high. I replaced the stock ones immediately with a quad set of SED Winged "C" EL34s (I also replaced the 12AX7 and 12AU7 as well a year or so after) and the A-50T is making musics! I wouldn't say it is a "giant killer" or something like that but I would say don't judge the performances of this little integrated amp with the stock tubes.I would like to give some other 6CA7s and EL34s a try... probably will stay with new productions/re-issues like the EH 6CA7s. I don't want to spend too much on a bedroom system...
