Can’t speak to your specific tubes, but 1940s RCA tubes have outstanding low-end extension.
Can a new brand of power tube even duplicate what this pair of RCA's are putting out?
Hello,
Having a difficult time finding a brand of tubes to match the wonderful low end tone this old pair of el 84's produce. I actually pulled these old tubes out of a post ww2 era hammond organ, it was in my garage for 20 yrs.. I still cant get over the low end these old dusty RCA's are throwing out . I purchased two pairs of new tubes TAD EL84-STR and The JJ's. Both didn't even come close
Was surprised about the TAD, they were suppose to have significant low freq. but compared to the RCA hey were a disappointment
Any one have any insight on why this is, also any worthy brand suggestions to try?
