Tubes Asylum Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ |
|
Yeah, first thing I'll get told is to use the search, which I did. My question is still unanswered! Let me be more specific...Most tweaks/changes in one's system usually ends up in small improvements or changes in the sound. I am wondering, by switching to EL34 output tubes from 6550's, will the difference be ever-so-slight and barely detectable or will it be a large difference in sound? I guess I am not looking for a 'better' sound, since I am very happy right now. But experimentation is always interesting and I'd love to try some EL34's, to hear the difference -- I might like it in my system.
I understand what EL34's sound like in comparison to the 6550's from reading and listening myself, but does the design of the circuit really play that huge of a difference?
These are for an older model JoLida 502A -- which can accept EL34's with a bias adjustment, according to JoLida themselves.
Thanks!
