In Reply to: RE: Eli, now I have not had any problems with any of my JJ tubes..... posted by viridian on March 15, 2014 at 09:50:47
Make that a sample of two. I have far more problems with the Gold Lion tubes than any other brand other than Psvane.
The bad rap on JJ tubes comes from a few people who buy their tubes from one reputable dealer who is not a JJ dealer.
I purchased over $5000.00 worth of tubes last year, not including replacements by manufacturers, and the least troublesome were JJ.
As for the Telefunkens, don't knock them until you've tried them. There isn't one person posting here who has actually used them (including me)

You correct about not having heard them. I look forward to real world data and experience on their new boutique line. But JJ has a lot of work to win me over.
I've gotten some that weren't good from Eurotube. Can't get much more authorized than that.
I think there was a period of time when Eurotube was not doing proper testing at the factory. I have had no issues with the recent JJ power tubes I have used and depending on the circuit they can sound quite good.
I did not mean to disparage the quality of the tubes, but I find the use of the great names of the past on modern Eastern Block tubes to be deceitful and just plain crappy.
I own, and use, many of the Genelex reissues, the use of the name just makes me cringe. My problem, I know.
