RE: Tube rolling preamp or power amp gain tubes, which ones (or both)?

I'm not really clear on where he wants to take it and what's not giving him what he wants now?

he should email Jim McShane for a recommendation on what tubes he can drop in that amp. As well as starting on the smaller tubes if needed????

If the OP is using EL34 I am ASSUMING!!!! he wants more clarity or top end???? So a GL KT66/77 would really do the trick. I have HEARD the EH6ca7 are good as well but have never tried them myself.

I know I'm fighting the crowd on this one. But I always liked getting a good set of output tubes then tweak out my smaller tubes.

The GL will add a lot more energy on the top and bottom end. Warm and fuzzy they ain't! but clean and crisp they are. I used the GL KT66 for quite a while. An excellent tube.
