Do yourselves a favor and get TAD EL84-STR top notch 84. Side note on the TAD .... 42% shorter life than a spec JJ in stress testing before 20% drop in plate current output is noted. The TAD is a Chinese built tube and shorter life in some output tubes is to be expected. TAD builds some wonderful 6L6 output tubes (the short bottle is terrific) as a side note. Looking at how long some folks run their EL84s this might not be a factor at all for a lot of people as many are running quite a bit lower than 20% down due to tube replacement that is put off.

Good to know thanks Myles. Bottom line ... if you like how they sound that is what is most important. On shorter life ... most folks keep the same output tubes in use long after their tone ahd response has degraded. Sort of like watching a child growing up, you don't notice a change unless you don't see them for years. In amps you don't hear how much things degraded until you plug in a fresh set.

No doubt different amps match better with certain tubes. For the version one the TAD's work nicely. Myles I really like the pics on your MySpace.

Facebook is what I use mostly but since the facebook profile changes I am now using twitter more than before FB made their changes. Photos on Myspace in a lot of cases are also on facebook. latest photos are on facebook and real time photos are on facebook and twitter. A lot of my stuff is also on www.flickr.com/myles111us
