i had let the opt's burn in now for about 50 to 60 hours with my fostex horns now i hooked it up to the lascallas, when i first did this with the hammonds, they had no bottom end.no problems now, the bottom end filled in nicely and they drive them fine. in fact i was listening to beatles abbey road and i can hear the seperate beat of the kick drum very distinctly, in fact it caught my attention right away. i just got this albulm and was playing it on the same system using my vta70. so right there the proof is in the pudding set rules...

I have the Super X with the Magnequest iron and could never complain about the bottom end. The FI has the tighest bass of any tube amp I had around in my system.

i'm using solvtec 2a3 and a ge 5v4g
or ge 45 and a 5y3
I still have to try my 45s, but for 2A3 I have settled on the following combo:Sovtek 2A3 and RCA 5V4GA
I did prefer the 5V4 to the 5Y3 due to the better punch I get in the bass. I have a pair of Bendix 6106 (instead of 5Y3GT) that is very nice too, more refined, but not quite a bold sounding as the RCA 5V4GA.
I picked up some Sylviana 45s but did not have a chance to try them yet.

In my Super X I was listening to Tung Sol 2A3's with GE 5v4G (or occasionally the Sovteks (good value)), but now I've switched to 45's with a GE 5star 5y3GTB rectifier, and I doubt I'll be going back to the 2A3's (except for perhaps a rowdy party, when I need a little more gain.) The 45's just bring out something special in the music--perhaps the texture of the sound? I know it's a cliche, but it really does sound like another veil has been lifted off the speakers, giving a more transparent sonic view of the real time/space event.I'm using N.O.S. National Union 45's, but I also have a pair of old globe 245 tubes. They have some nice qualities, but they lack the spacial depth of the ST tubes, and they sound flabby in the bass. I have no idea if this intrinsic to globes in this amp or if they are just weak and on their last legs.
I just took a pair of Brooklyns apart to truncate the UL taps, and it's very instructive to see. The workmanship is just superior. These are 8K, and they load the bottom of my 6V6s as well as 10K Tango.Aloha,
