Hi. Why $16.00 more to match a quad of these tubes?
Asked by Anonymous on October 18th, 2016.
The price is the same but you pay twice as much for a quad as compared to a pair since you are getting twice as many tubes.

I have a Hughes&Kettner TubeMeister 18. It has 2 EL84 power tubes & 2 12ax7 preamp tubes. I would like to upgrade the stock tubes with matched pair and some punchy gainy character driven tubes. Please recommend some options
Thanks
Kenne

We feel that the Sovtek EL84 is a great choice. All of our power tubes can be ordered with "low numbers." This allows for quicker breakup.

Question was that I'd like a match pair for my Blues Jr. but I want clean sound even in High Volumes. What number would you recommend?
Asked by Anonymous on December 26th, 2017.
You will want to request "high numbers" when you place your order. If you order online, there will be a notes section where you can put in the request.

This is a great option for your application. JJ EL84s would also work well.

Do these have the internal connections of the 7189A tubes (1 to 2, and 6 to 9)? Are they a direct replacement for the 7189A's?

The diagram in the datasheet does not show these connections.
Product Reviews
Wanted to like these as an option for higher voltage amps that ran 7189 tubes. The highs are more pronounced but also thin and glassy with less mid and bass and much less warmth overall than my NOS Telefunken or RCA by comparison.
