el 34 vs kt 77

Dopogue & Musicfile
Thanks.

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

That's a whole different matter. Yes, I'm pretty sure they would slaughter any EL34s out there. But the new ones laid waste to all MY EL34s, so they're certainly worth a shot for anyone using this tube type.
