FYI Triode Electronics sells the same tubes Ei Fat Bottles for the same price as the ebay dutch auction. They are sold as matched quads and come with a 6 month exchange warranty. I have bought many tubes from them over the past year and have been happy with their service. I try to use the dealers before ebay because down the road I need them to be there (I own 10 pieces of tube equipment). I am not related to the above dealer. Hope this helps. http://www.triodeelectronics.com
Any info on fat bottle Ei tubes?
I saw a ad on Ebay for quads of Ei fat bottle tubes. The ad stated more output power. When I inquired as to what made these tubes have more output I was told that the bottle design had something to do with it. My question to old tubeheads is: Can a tube be made to put out more than it's rated power(EL34)? Also what would a fat bottle design have to do with power? It should be a internal design that would make all the difference no? Just curious as I am somewhat new to rolling of those magic bottles. Thanks,
