Re: Anyone ever try the Svetlana EL34?
I use Svetlana Winged C tubes in my Marshall JCM 2000. Those tubes along with the Sovtek preamp tubes gave me the exact sound I was looking for. They pretty much made my amp sound the way it did when I first got it.
I think the Svetlana Winged C are known as the true Svetlana tubes where as the ones that simply say Svetlana are not.
I highly recommend them.

It really depends upon which Svetlana your referring to.
The Original Svet or the =C= has bit higher head room than most typical EL34's, with a later, not an earlier breakup. It excells in master volume amps. In a nmv amp it can stay a little too clean for some.
The EL34 tube that is called Svetlana now is really made by Sovtek and a different tube from the =C=.

The "Winged C" Svetlanas are amazing tubes. As far as modern production EL-34s go, I don't think they can be beat, honestly.

keep in mind, I'm not referring to the SED winged C tubes, but the Svetlana EL34s they have in stock.

I tried a quad set in my Music Man HD-150. They just did not have the warm sound like the good ol' Fat Bottle Sylvania 6CA7's that are currently in the amp. I pulled them back out and sold them on ebay.

I have a set in y Marshall 900 & the rock great. I bought a set for my Komet but haven't changed them yet. Right now I have a set of JJ KT77's in the Komet and am pretty pleased with them. nice and smooth, yet when I kick it they drive real nice!

Get the Winged C/SED tubes, and forget the new Sovtek "Svetlanas". The Winged C is the real deal. I use these in my Mark Series Mesa Boogies--EL34s in the Class A Simul-Class sockets and Winged C/SED 6L6s in the Class AB sockets.
