RE: tube choices on CJ integrated amp

Can't say about the CJ. The "reissue" GEC KT77 is the best EL34 class tube currently being made. Go back a few years and SED (=C=) EL34s and JJ E34Ls were definitely "on the table". JJ's current Octal production is, at best, VERY inconsistent. :>(( SED may not be making any tubes, whatsoever. ;>(

The "reissue" TungSol 6SN7 is a good tube. If you want to mess around with affordable NOS, build or buy adapters for Loctal base 7N7s. Disregard the branding on Loctal tubes, as all of 'em were made in Sylvania's Emporium, PA, plant. ;>)
