In my push-pull amp, I prefer the EL-34's to the KT-88's. I do not find the EL-34's to be bass shy, either, but I think this depends greatly on the amp and the speakers. They are warmer sounding, and do a better job with both vocal and instrumental timbres. I listen to about 90% classical and 10% jazz.
Your thoughts on these different tubes?..
I had tubes in the past from VAC, BAT, CJ and others...but have been in the world of solid state as of late.
Thinking about doing a modest system based on a tube integrated and would appreciate hearing your experience with the following tubes:
Output tubes: KT88 vs 6550C vs EL34 vs KT90
Input/Driver tubes:6922 vs. 12AU7 vs. 12AX7 vs. 6SN7
Thanks for any input...and have good holidays..
