Tube Suggestions for Silver Jubilee

Re: Tube Suggestions for Silver Jubilee

I dont know the difference between tube brands, but Ive had a set of Groove Tubes in my Jubilee for years and I have no complaints. Every so often though I hear something negative about GT's but thats about as often as I hear good things about them as well.

This is where I shop for all of my tubes.
Never had an issue.

$105 for a duet of Mullard’s..rip off.
TAD are good, as are the JJ, JJ also makes a 6CA7 which are also very good. I have a duet in my Blackstar.
I have used the Mullards too...nothing wrong with them, a lot of mids. But you can get them at Tubedepot.com for half that price.

If you liked the way the amp sounds now just use the same brand.
And BIAS them....I can’t stress that enough.

How different are the EL34B from the EL34M?

The ones on my SLX are actually JJ EL34 II. Very nice tubes.

TAD STRs are really good. PSvanes look interesting but I haven’t had cash to try them. FWIW, JJ KT77s sound more like the Tesla EL34Ms that were in my SL-X when I bought it than any EL-34 I tried since. I don’t have a Jubilee however, so I don’t know how it would respond.

I want to retube my 50w Silver Jubilee. I'm thinking Electro-Harmonix (about the same price as JJs) or going a little more expensive with Mullard Reissues ($105 tube set in Amazon)...

Are the Mullards worth the extra cash?

I'm very happy with JJs on my SLX and JCM800, and so it's my benchmark in terms of quality and price. I just want to try a different brand.

I could probably try TAD? About the same price as Mullards.

Thanks in advance!
