I've heard of GEC/Marconi (came across them in my Ebay searches), but know nothing about them. I'm not that experienced yet with the bigger bottle power tube swaps, but I like the JJ E34L's a lot in my Rev D Rectifier. I honestly haven't liked much the JJ KT77's or KT77's in general. It's the only thing I've had in my Gjika so far and obviously sounds great with them, but I had them in also my Rev D Recto and Rev 1 Uberschall and much preferred EL34's in them. The KT77's seemed to have good punch, tightness, and clarity, but the Uber especially just became so much more alive with the JJ EL34's I have in it now. It got a lot more growly, warm, fat and complex sounding imo, but who knows maybe the Gjika is just right with them. I've not experimented much with these tube types yet. No strong opinions yet
My SLO originally came with Sovtek 5881's, but the amp needed servicing from my tech (it kept blowing fuses, but totally fine now) and so those power tubes were changed and didn't check if they were the old or new version Sovtek's (I didn't know anything about these tubes at the time). He put since JJ 6L6GC's. They're not bad from what I can tell (I've also had them in my IIC+ HRG), but it sounded a lot better with whatever version Sovtek 5881's were in it before. I'm gonna have to try the old version Sovtek's in it (very possible that's what was in it before). Only tried those 2 in it so far, but I have a list of 6L6's I wanna try when I finally get there lol (I have a process). FWIW also, at the risk of being called a nut-hugger or cork sniffer I didn't like any of the 2000's SLO's I've had or tried anywhere near as much as the '89 I have. Haven't tried the new BAD version SLO, but not that curious honestly. Unfortunately too many amps out there where the early versions just sounded so much better (like the Blueface, Uberschall's, Recto's, C+). Thankfully it seems like Wizard is among the few that's the opposite in that way (actually got better with revisions)
