JJ EL34 or E34L

You are correct. The E34L will run at a higher bias. I do not run these or have an Anthem. If you run them at the same V I bet they are very similar. Try it out. You will not hurt anything. If you have not already done so I would ask the same question at the audio asylum.com tube section. Lots more EL34 folks there who might have experience right on point.

Sincerely, I remain

Hi Clueless Yes I have installed the 3 E34L and 1 EL34 with no odd affects. I figured as long as the bias on all four are the same I should stay above water. I looked at all four tubes before plugging them in and they looked the same physically. Stay tuned. Thanks for your input. Bret

South43. I have heard that you have to bias the E34L higher than the EL34 likes to go to really make them get up and go. Don't ya love tubes!

Wow Clueless we must be on the same page. That's exactly what I did and ya no what? The music is sounding sweeter than ever. I got some siemans in yesterday and now I like what the JJ's are doing so much I don't want to take them out. But clueless ya no I am going to try those siemans soon. Stay tuned. Bret

Hey, don't do anything premature with your Sieman! Roll that tube!

Sincerely, I remain
