i swapped C-wings to Tung-sol EL34B tubes and like these more. more balanced and better highs. decently priced too, after all i need two quads each time i roll EL34's...
Ill have to try the tungsol el34s..Are those the same as the new sensor mullards?..You are about the 3rd person that really likes the TS el34s.
If the power supply waveform isn't pretty,neither is the sound in most cases.
The hype on the Tungsols is that they sound 6L6ish until drove hard then they sound EL34ish due to a higher impedance plate. I assume in a stereo if the claim is true they'd sound like a 6L6 due to never being pushed hard enough to break up. You'd know better then I.
If they sound 6L6ish,thats the EL34 for me because I love 6L6s.

No EL34 ever done a thing for me in home entertainment amps. I will always recommend an EL34 based amp to be changed to 6L6 family. I like 6L6G shoulder glass to 375 volts plate to cathode or RCA 6L6GB tall glass in higher voltage applications. I do not know the RCA 6L6GC vs GB seies sonic differences. Do you?
As for the plate dissapation differences, the GC has a special plate that dissapates heat better. I think it is a tri-metal design.

I hear ya buddy..I can't get used to EL34s either because I can't stomach the inconsistentcies and how they change from one cut to the next.
" I do not know the RCA 6L6GC vs GB seies sonic differences. Do you?"
There are many similarities and even the 6N3C-e sounds similar but they produce higher power and they are not quite as refined as the 6L6g.
Dan was saying the Tungsol really is something and I still have to get some.

but i doubt if they are identical.
