I'm a fan of EL34s and would like to hear from owners of this amp who tried it with EL34. What did you set the bias as and what were the overall results.
Nice, but not as overall clear and sparkling as with 6550s or as dramatic as KT88s. I used Svetlana =C= EL34s from Upscale, Pope drivers, Amperex 7308s and Mullard GZ37 rectifiers. Merlin monitors. I set the bias at 70mA. Tremendous vocals. YMMV.
Yes, you are correct. I've several things going on at one time. Sorry if I've confused you. I used the EHs, had them blow and take out a few capacitors. Not the best tube, but that's my opinion. I like the Tung Sol 6550 reissue and the Gold Lion KT88 reissue. To my ear, rolling the 6922s had the most effect in tailoring sound followed by the outputs then the drivers. It's a fun amp.
