Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Eli, now I have not had any problems with any of my JJ tubes.....

JJ definitely knows how to make good tubes. Older production runs were fine. I suspect your blue glass E34Ls are of an older "vintage". JJ's E34L, when made with care, is superb. For quite some time, JJ's E88CC was THE value in 6DJ8 family variants.

Unfortunately, the will to manufacture a quality product has be absent, over the last few years. ;>( JJ's Octal based tubes became no better than inconsistent. The E88CC became unreliable. Numerous other examples have been noted by AA "inmates".

Take the money and run seems to be JJ's current operating theme. A truly sad situation.
