Hey gang, anyone try the JJ 5881 output tubes being offered now? I am still running on my original GT 6l6GE set that came with my Galaxie head years ago. They still have real nice bright orange silk screening and seem to work well. But rather than wait until they fail, I plan to save them as a backup and put some new glass in. My demands are not what I call high, as I typically do not push my tubes very much, and am not performing. It seems Antique Radio Supply still sells matched pairs of the GT 6l6GE, so I could go that way or even treat myself to some NOS tubes. But somehow the new JJ offering had me wondering. Thanks in advance for any input on this.

I can't comment on the JJs. When I had my Soldano HR-50 I really liked the Russian made 5881Tung-Sol reissue. I think the JJs didn't come around until after I sold the Soldano. www.dougstubes.com/power-tubes/6l6-5881-kt66.htmlI'm curious to hear what tubes guys will recommend for the Galaxy. Let us know what you decide to go with.
