What's your favorite EL34 ?

[ODwan]

Hello everybody!
I'm trying to optimize my Express clone tubewise starting with powertubes and would be grateful for some hints.

What's your favorite current production EL34 tube with your Express clones?

I ask current production only because of the money factor.
Thanks,

Timo

I am really happy with the tone of the JJ E34L's, biased around 40-41. I messed with the bias hotter or colder, and they *really* sound noticeably better around 70-80%. The gain characteristics are even, not too much spiky highs, and the cleans are still lively.

Really impressed with JJ KT77 from Eurotubes.
