In Reply to: Hmm...Mike Sanders recommended against the E-Hs for his V4s. posted by jeffreybehr on April 4, 2007 at 15:23:57:
The PS 88's are in there right now and performing well!
I'll call him and ask why not the KT90EH. The KT90 was on the list for my amps. Nobody has the Ei's and the E-H is the only KT90 available right now.
I cannot see another company tooling up for it because the demand must be close to zero.
They are for my D75 anyway.

What do you like so much about the others over the EL34s? I don't think I ever heard the V4 with another output. I have a V4 Piggy Bank, so I would appreciate a reply.
I have QS Mini Mite monos not the V4s. The Minis came with Tesla E34L tubes.
When one of the supplied KT77s flamed out in my Rogue Atlas, I put the QS supplied E34Ls in my Atlas to see how it would sound with them. One of them also flamed out, so I was left with no 34s. I then put a set of Sovtek 6L6WXT+ tubes in the Minis and liked how they sounded. Now I'm listening to Shuguang KT88s in the Minis.
Since then I have purchased and tried a few different EL34 types as indicated.
The demand for the GREAT sounding Ei tube is substantial - but the EH is not in the same league as the Ei. So the demand isn't there.
how can I view your tube offerings? Do you have a web site? I Googled but could only find something about some rich guy from Chicagoland and his huge generosity...!
(but not your stock) and gave up after awhile.
I suspected the EH would be inferior. Hopefully it will work out, however. If not, it's not a big deal. I'll just sell them with the D75 as I am leaning that way anyway. I'm not attached to it at this point.
I'm moving out of a house and into an apartment on August 1 and will not have room for 30 or 40 some odd components. Yes it has gotten out of hand. Normal people sell the old stuff when they buy something new!
What I did not consider was the height of the KT90EH. Hopefully it will not be too tall for the D75. When I called Tube Depot to inquire, they said they had already shipped my order. I can always return them and use my 6550s or KT88s instead.
