Hi, I'm looking to put a really nice ef86 in my KT. The one that came in there is labeled a Groove Tube, but I know they don't have any new production 86's. Kinda confusing. I ordered a Dario Miniwatt from KCA and put it in a couple days ago. . . I was very bummed to hear that the microphonics were even worse! I'm really hoping some of you guys have suggestions on an Ef86 that is known for having extremely low microphonics. I would like to keep it around $125 or less. I've heard amazing things about the Telefunken Ef806s, but those are very hard to come by. Should I save up for one of those, or is there something else that is just as good on the microphonics? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. I posted this in the tubes section as well.

I've had no problems with Dario and Valvo EF-86's. I think I have a Valvo in my KT-45 right now and it sounds great!

I haven't had any issues with my Dario Miniwatt either. Maybe it was a bad one. Try to send it back to KCA.
JJ makes one now too. I'm interested in hearing the JJ.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I think I'll definitely give the Dario a second chance and try another one.
