Your thoughts on these different tubes?..


I had tubes in the past from VAC, BAT, CJ and others...but have been in the world of solid state as of late.

Thinking about doing a modest system based on a tube integrated and would appreciate hearing your experience with the following tubes:

Output tubes: KT88 vs 6550C vs EL34 vs KT90

Input/Driver tubes:6922 vs. 12AU7 vs. 12AX7 vs. 6SN7

Thanks for any input...and have good holidays..

EL 34 s are the best and most beautiful sounding. The 12ax7 is a very good sounding tube and lasts longer than any of the others and is the easiest to get either on the NOS market or brand new. My humble opinion after 35 years of listening. Shay
