el 34 vs kt 77

I have a Rogue cronus with kt77 tubes. What difference would there be in the sound substituting el34's for them?

The JJs had a lot of QC problems, including thin pins, before they got their act together. I have some, and they aren't really in the same sonic league as the Genalex, IMO.

Musicfile you even told me that before! Sheesh. Where's my head? Again, thanks. When I get the urge to splurge I'll get me eight of those goobersmoochers. Where's a good vendor for these things and about how much do they cost now?
