"Sorry, but hard to take you serious after that comment."So, if someone had an experience that differs from yours, you cannot take him seriously?
"They may not have been your favorite tube in your amp but I doubt they sounded that bad. There are enough positive comments around including here and thetubestore website. Even Jim agrees that JJs sound good when they work."
Who said my JJ KT77s were working properly? In fact, I consider it likely that they were not working properly which caused them to sound so bad. As I said, I don't believe it was a matter of mere taste. On the other hand, if they were working properly and what I heard was how they always sound, then I am not going to have a fit if someone else says they think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread.
"I know you want to support Jim but is talking BS the best way to do it?"
I was reporting on my experience. And, you don't know anything about my relationship, or lack thereof, with Jim McShane. I have on some occasions bought tubes from him and find him to be one of the better tube sellers out there, hence I wish he would get some more Chinese and JJ tubes. That's all.

Well you never indicated that your JJs may not have been functioning properly, only that they sounded dreadful. Do your comments not make it sound as if the JJs are a bad sounding tube? This was misleading and it seemed you were ripping the tube because Jim won't carry them. Sorry for the confusion.
Jim, if you are checking out JJ tubes, the KT77 is one you should look into.
That's why it is wise to not jump on somebody due to a conclusion based upon something that was NOT said. Arguments from silence are insubstantial. I had referred to my set and again my quad of JJ KT77 that, yes, sounded dreadful, and I stand by that. If it was due to their being defective, fine. If not, and if someone likes that kind of sound, then more power to their elbow.
