EL-34: JJ Tesla or Electro-Harmonix?

Between these two cheaper brands which do you guys recommend. I'm looking for decent tubes to go into an amp I intend to sell - will keep the nicer tubes currently in it for myself. Also, if you know of other brands in the $40/quad range please let me know. Thanks!

JJ/Tesla (EL34 and E34L) vs. Sovtek vs. SED, I preferred the latter in a CJ amp.

Very nice thread. It's been some time since I had some tube gear however I always liked the Svet EL34. Could someone tell me more about the JJ KT77. Like I said it's been some time. Thanks in adavance.

Hey Trelja, I agree, it just goes to show you that the ancillary equipment using particular tubes also has a definite affect on the sonics of the tubes.

I was expecting the same results as you with the KT-77s after all the raves, and I'm probably the ONLY guy who is underwhelmed with these otherwise fine tubes.
