There are reliability concerns about all of JJ's Octal based production. :>((
JJ knows how to make good tubes. In past, that was shown any number of times. However, their product of the last few years leaves much to be desired.
JMO, if you want KT77s, buy "reissue" GEC labeled tubes manufactured by New Sensor at Saratov, Russia.

When you say reliability concerns, you are saying the tubes fail? Is there any chance of damage to the amp?
I have used JJ EL34s in the past and it has failed twice now that I recall.

Thanks! I wish they were not so freakin' expensive!! :-(

I.D.
but then there were reasons that changed:
1. Sound quality.
2. Overall quality.
3. Piece of mind based on #2.
4. Ever seen the price of originals?
They're a deal by comparison!!
(oh oh, compared current production tubes to vintage tubes I've never heard...)
Anyway, they may seem expensive, but they are worth it IMO.
