"The KT 66 is also a good tube in the ST70. Then there is 6p3se/6n3ce also. The 7581 is akin to the KT66"
None of these tubes perform optimally into the low-Z load presented by the Dynaco transformers. 6.6K is their sweet spot, as published in the manufacturers' original data. The 6P3S-E may be even higher. The EL34 is the best match for this amp.
