Yeah LPS won't work in some phase inverters and it's best not to use them there in general as they can be finicky I hear.First thing to note. My Sovtek LPS went haywire in the phase inverter. I just pulled it from the Ecstasy working perfect. Tube was lighting blue with the top and bottom looking like lightning flashing. Was audible aslo.
First test for EL34s is Sovtek EL34g. Pretty nice. As mentioned before these seem to have a little less compression. I like them.
The EL34-M/GT/Shuguang also has big heat wings and is available at Ruby Tubes.Yep, that's what I remember reading 10 yrs back when I had a 2010 MC1 100w. That amp came with the JJ Ls, but I also tried Siemens, Winged Cs, and the GT EL 34LS....the Groove Tube LS is basically a JJ L but the heat wings are big like a Siemens 34. Those actually sounded best to my ears. Not made anymore, but you can find them from time to time on eBay for cheap.
Pre tubes, the MC1 liked all Chinese to my ears.
I prefer the JJ e34l over the JJ el34s
I’ve tried a few other types including SED and EH and some Chinese. I think the differences are subtle. I just stick with the JJs as they’re cheap and that’s what Rick uses.
I do prefer Chinese high grade or 8th gen pres over the JJs. I use a sovtek LPS in the phase inverter.
The gold pin gold lions and RFTs sound good too, but more $
All that aside, you get more tonal variations with swapping speakers/cabs IMO
Aren't specs the identical on JJE34L, EL34, and EL34II?The JJEL34II sceens are only rated for 450volts. Might want to check what the HR screen voltage is.
No.Aren't specs the identical on JJE34L, EL34, and EL34II?
They must have changed them. The El34L used to be 500 on the screens EL34 was 450 and the ii used to ba a lower output el34. They must have redesigned the II, the original version was not good when I tried them.
