Best sounding pair of EL34's
Best sounding pair of EL34's ive ever used. A month ago I picked up an Orange Retro 50 and ive been trying different tubes to see which liked best. I compared The SED's to JJ's, Used Amperex Bugle Boys,a Pair of Chinese EL34B, and the EL34EH. The final comparison was to a pair of NOS Seimens (RFT, the ones that sell for 200 dollars per pair now, and every dealer says "nearest thing to a Mullard left of the market"). The RFT were fine, but these Winged C's just ate their lunch in every comparison, including the "which-sounds-more-like-a-Blackburn-Mullard" comparison.These are a bit more midrangey than even Mullards, which is great if you are using something like a strat through something like a Marshall. I wont use anything else now, unless its the 6CA7EH, for a different vibe.
Super fast shipping. Good
Super fast shipping. Good sound but had to RMA a quad after a few days of breaking them in because 1 of the tubes drifted almost 8mA above the rest...and one of the other 3 was also 7mA below the middle two. Not sure what the issue with this quad, but Amplified parts handled the RMA quickly and I'm happy with their customer service. My only guess was that they could have been poorly handled in shipping. These came in generic white boxes and there was some play inside each carton. I wish the tubes would have been more snug inside each box. Maybe that was the issue, maybe not.
The best EL34 I've used.
The best EL34 I've used. Currently I am running them in the power stage of a Yaqin MC-10 integrated amp with a Bellari phono stage. I had tried Ruby, Cryogenic, Tube Amp Doctor, and of course the Chinese tubes it came with.The NOS Winged C's simply outperform all the others in terms of power, tight and defined bass, and an enormous soundstage. By the way, the Sovtek T-12AX7LPS in the Bellari is also the best I've found. Super quiet, incredible midrange and highs.
Just bought a new mesa
Just bought a new mesa halfstack and had to try these out. Outstanding product!!!
Service was very fast and the
Service was very fast and the tubes were packaged very well. Perfect.
Probably the highest quality
Probably the highest quality EL34 in production.Powerful from top to bottom, but in My experience, Its bottom end gets boomy and may tend to overwhelm a Production amp like a Marshall.Especially if using Celestion speakers or in the newer, cheaper, and asian made amp models. I use these tubes in my Old 1971 JMP Super Lead 2, and Mullard Reissue EL34 or Tungsol EL34B in new amps.
