Your choice of EL34's

I would like to hear from some EL34 owners who have a favorite output tube. Your input will give me food for thought and possibly concur with my findings on some of the tubes I have heard. BTW does the Ei fatboy really put out more pwr as I have heard advistised? My thanks to all.

So far all the tubes mentioned I have not heard. I do have a quad of Siemens,Teslas,Svetlanas, and Electo Harmonix. My amp is the Anthem amp1 which I consider neutral in sound. My thanks to all. Bret

Khaki8: I totally agree... XF1's or XF2's.

Only other great choice not mentioned is in the same vein as Jtinn and Khaki8. The MO Valve KT77. It was designed as a premium replacement for the Mullard, which was enjoying much success back then.

Only problem is money, NOS KT77 are even more expensive than the Mullard, although there are things they do that are superior, even to the XF1 Brown Base series.
