RE: JJ & Gold Lion KT77 Comparison

So is it hard to believe because you feel I'm incompetent or a liar? Please let us know!

Why don't you ask another of the leading US tube retailers why HE doesn't carry them either? Ask Kevin Deal from Upscale Audio. Go look at his site, see how many JJ tubes he lists (answer = zero).

JJ did change the KT77 tube pin size back to the proper diameter, yes. But I've received enough reports over the years to tell me that I'd still find issues on them. I received communication from Mr. Tomas Jurco that told me they had no quality problems and that their quality was better than Tesla's. Quoting Tomas - "You talk about Tesla quality and differences between Tesla and JJ. Just for your information: Jan Jurco (and 5 next engineers at JJ worked in Tesla during more than 25 years) and they can compare quality of former Tesla and JJ. Their view is opposite to your." Ahem...Does ANYBODY believe that?

I've never said that JJ tubes couldn't sound good. At one time they were superb, and if the tubes are made properly I think they could still sound great. But the reject rate is simply too high for me to carry them. I won't put them in my own gear (other than the few JJ lines I carry), so I won't sell them. Sure, I could make money selling JJs, but I choose not expose my customers to products I won't use.

So Mr. datman, you go on believing what you want, but don't make vague accusations you can't substantiate about how I do business, okay?
