RE: JJ tubes? Anyone tried this tube trick? (*harp-GEAR-related*)

["Hambone Hamilton" <harpmanx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I am absolutely crazy about JJ power tubes, though generally I use NOS 
for preamp.  I can tell you, their EL84 and 6V6 tubes just absolutely ROCK!! 
  And you can't beat the price, either!
