WOW! these things have some heft to 'em, compared to the sed's/sovvies. their construction inside look a lot beefier/sturdier. anyway, i just wanted to let youz guys know that i put a set of these in today, & as much as i wanna start jumpin' up and down, suffice it to say, so far, so good. having said that, these things are da fukkin' BOMB!!! i EASILY like 'em as much as the sed's, but let me live with 'em for a few weeks, at least until they burn in. they were eezy-peezy to bias up (got the avg dist ones), & i also whacked in a new p.i., a sovvie 12ax7lps, just so i could start on an even playing field, as far as the power section is concerned.
it looks like the chinese have stepped up their game with this valve, & it's lookin' like they're quite reliable in terms of their current stock. doug/steve, i really think you should check these out, because i have a feeling you might like 'em. the amp sounds really big & more musical, so far, & more 3d-like, if you will. i got 'em from doug's tubes...
