Anyone had any experience with the JJ tubes, sold by Eurotubes? According
to the Eurotubes site, he is using JJ 6V6's as a drop in to tame down 6L6
amps, they have good tone, and they live even with plate voltages as high
as 480vdc.
Here is something new to me: they have a preamp tube available that is
half a 12AX7/ half 12AU7 that would work in the phase inverter position to
offset the waveform (same thing Gerald Weber does with his "waveform
symmetry" knob except non-adjustable). This would work in some but not all
circuits. I incorporated this control when I built my amp, and if anyone
is wondering about it, it works. This tube sounds like a cheap and easy
way to help out an amp that is just too clean.
