Re: BAM!!!! - EL34 options

Hi Lynn

Did you rule out a possible problem with the circuit in the amp - voltage too high, or the amp is running too much current through the tubes? Were the plates of the tube(s) glowing orange-hot after a few minutes (the metal plates, not the heater filaments - the heater filaments will glow right away). If you suspect anything like this, send more info about the amp.

Triode Electronics has several EL34's listed - click on the 6CA7 EL34 option.
