In Reply to: I'm REALLY happy with the KT-77 in my rebuilt Dynaco ST-70; they have posted by musetap on April 14, 2007 at 11:25:08:
Maybe I will order a quad of the EH and the KT-77 and try them both. I think doing the Ei might be a mistake. What if you like them? They are going to be very hard to come by in the future I would imagine. Might as well go NOS.

Kind of a sketchy memory hear with the Ei Fat Bottle I tried a few years ago...but I distincly remember being very unhappy with them.I still have them and maybe should give 'em another shot, but the unhappy experience contrasted with the happy experience with all the other EL34 I've tried (and especially the KT-77!) make that an unlikely event.
Have fun no matter which route you take!

Well I have a quad on the way of the EH 6CAT. I hope I like them better than you did! Even if they are great I still want to try out the KT-77 and see what all the hype is about.
The EH and the Ei 6CA7s are much different! You can definitely like one but not the other.
Well I am all for finding out which. Tube rolling is half the fun but I think I am going to pass on the Ei. I actually don't think I want to know if I like them they are getting so hard to come by. EL34 Teslas (old stock) were magnificent but I can't afford NOS quads of those. So I will try the EH 6CA7 and the Kt-77 and see (throwing in the JJ E34L which I already have) which ones I like best.
