I do like the 77's. Crunchy like the 34's, but got the guts of a 6l6.

After tons of tube swapping, including combinations and running them through thier paces....6L6, KT88's, EL34, E34L's,6550, I ended up with 4 Ruby el34BG's and 2 JJ KT77's. This is in Herbert.
Now trying to decide on preamp tubes. The HG+ Ruby's are the winner along with HG+ JJ's. Ruby's are tighter but thinner sounding compared to the JJ's which have a bigger low end and depth but a tad bit looser... Don't like any combination of both.

I'm not keen on JJs, but if you want mack daddy glass, Gold Lion is primo, and straight up HG Chinese/Shuguang pre's, just sayin'

For power tubes how would you compare the JJ KT77s and Ruby EL34BGs? I heard the EL34BGs and they were fantastic. Curious how the KT77s compare.

I feel the JJ77 has a bigger low end, good crunch. A rounder tone overall. The ruby 34BG are hot and searing which I love. Currently like combining the two for the best overall sound in my opinion. The lows are big yet tight.
