RE: JJ Octal based tubes

My experience with JJ's KT-77s was much like your Mike. I didn't note if they were leaning, so I can't be sure about that. I used the KT-777s in a small =35wpc PP integrated with 2 tubes per channel. After very few hours one arced and took out it's circuit which I had a pro repair. He asked what the F did you do?
OTOH I have had E34Ls blue glass that lasted for years no red plates, arcs, noises etc. etc. They just died with nary a wimper.. I dunno if they have better QC on the purely cosmetic blue tubes as that may be "true true and unrelated."
