While the Sophia EL-34's were a huge improvement over the Tung Sol EL-34B's in my Unison S6, long term listening has revealed them to be too bright on some recordings. I also tried the Gold Lion KT-77's and found them to be similarly bright while otherwise less impressive than the Sophia's. Since the amp was voiced for EL-34's I have ordered the Psvane EL-34PH tubes (replica of the legendary metal base Phillips EL-34's) to try.
I will report what my listening experience is once they are broken in and I've had several months of listening to them.
