Reply #3 - 07/09/20 at 22:31:39 There are other threads here with contributors such as Will who have gone into this topic at length. There are discussions about inputs, voltage regulators, outputs, rectifiers, all of which combine to create a sound that you want.

Yes, I've read them all many times. A given tube sounds differently in different amps, relatively speaking. All the other amp sections have their own threads on this subject. So I wanted to create one for this particular amp.

Actually I don't cough when sleeping, but I do tend to snore when lying on my back, and have even farted Grin

The sound was dead muffled and dull. I went back to the stock tubes and haven't bothered since to roll. My opinion, upgrade interconnects and or speaker cables first.

Had to be through an adapter. Reminds me of someone who tries that Grolsch beer; the bottle with the hinged cap. First time you try it for the bottle. Then you'll never drink it again. The amp was designed for a KT66, which sounds damn good.

Reply #8 - 07/12/20 at 18:49:24 EL84's can be used all day long in a Taboo, although I must admit a Tungsram in that position would be my last choice. I would recommend that Kevin Deal be avoided; he's a sales pusher #1 above all else, and his wares are overpriced. Oh, and I like Grolsch beer too!
