Diggin' the Svetlana EL34/Ei combo in JoLida 302

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Decided to try the Svetlana EL34s and Ei 12AX7s and AT7s in my JoLida 302B.
In short: Pleasant! Thanks to Chris S., Eli, Ivan, Jim, Uncle Ned, et.al., for the prior recs.
The stock Chinese tubes had a slightly fatiguing, forward quality in the treble -- i.e. upper electric guitar strings sounded extra "ringy" and a bit annoying in my setup. These seem more balanced and easier to listen to for a long time. Didn't hurt that Uncle Ned is having a summer sale on the Svets ($50 for a matched quad) and the Ei AX7s.. I've definitely made less cost-effective, more dubious "upgrades" than that, for sure.
