Goldeneraguy, sounds like those were the JJ KT77s instead of the Genalex/Gold Lion tubes. 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?
I would highly recommend Jim McShane, but I haven't kept abreast of the prices and don't remember what mine cost, sorry. They're not cheap, except in comparison to the better Old Stock types. Dave
Dopogue , They were the real deal.M-O Valve Company KT 77. I purchased 12 new tubes directly from a very highly respected electronic mfg.This was 12 years ago.I dont think that JJ was making KT 77's back then. Have you used or seen M-O valve Co. KT 77's.IMO they are the best.Thinner pins and all compared to EL34's
