« on: 23 Nov 2008, 08:23 pm »
Am looking for, thoughts, input, etc. for placing, Genalex KT77 gold lions, in my ultimate 70s!!! Frank feel free to give me your thoughts!!!

I have two ultimate 70s with different El34 and have one tube going in one of them, so am wanting to replace all of them with the same type tubes.


I have happy ears!!!

I have used JJ KT77 output tubes in my own Ultimate 70 amplifier with excellent results, except that some JJ power tubes came with pins too small in diameter to make a good fit in the sockets.  For reliability, I am back to using matched sets of Electro Harmonix 6CA7 output tubes.  I really don't hear much difference between output tube brands in the U70.
