EL34 vs 6CA7 vs KT77


I am looking to do some tube rolling soon. I currently running Winged "C" EL34s and like the sound overall. The "C"s have good balance and a tubey sound but could be tweaked here or there. Any suggestions or opinions on the EL34/6CA7/KT77 tube family is welcomed!

In my VAC PA 35.35, I was using "Winged C" and EH Gold Dragons. I swapped out all the tubes at once, the smaller tubes are now NOS Telefunken 12AT7 and 12AU7. The EL34's are Mullard reissue with the Groove Tube label. The change these tubes made was amazing, it transformed this old amp from sounding ok, to an amp that is maybe the best I have owned, and one of the best I have heard.

Best of luck,
Dan
