Hey all, was just wondering, I have a EL38 adapter that says "To 6SN7", would it be safe to put this in the 6AS7G slot on the Euforia?
Yes it's perfectly safe to use in the power (6as7g) slots.Hey all, was just wondering, I have a EL38 adapter that says "To 6SN7", would it be safe to put this in the 6AS7G slot on the Euforia?
A favourite of mine is EL38 for powers with EL11for drivers, it's tubey, detailed,great bass and full bodied sound, I like it for classical, jazz, rock and metal.Okay, thank you. I think EL 38 + EL 32 is the spot for me with the Euforia, guys and girls. I just got the KT66 and started listening on the LCD 2 rev 2, but found myself reaching back to the El 38 and El 32 combo. If anyone knows a better combo for that tubey "massive" encompassing sound please let me know.
Have you tried the EL38's with EL32's as drivers? I would like to try the EL38's + EL3N's but I'm going to wait a few months for my pockets to recover before going out to get more tubes. Also wanting to try to quad EL38's. Yeah, I really enjoy the 38's for the power slot right now too.I love the 38s for the power slot. I use EL 3Ns for the drivers. Just live that sound . My opinion only. My son likes it a bit more detailed.
Best I have found of all combinations of KT tubes are the Kt77's as drivers and the KT88's as power.
Current production EL34 tubes are true to the original Mullard pentode design. Likewise, current production 6CA7 are beam forming tetrode like the original Sylvania design. Tube manufacturers also re-issued KT77 in recent years. The internal construction of current production KT77 resembles that of classic KT77.
This makes current production EL34, 6CA7 and KT77 all sound noticeably different. This allows us to try and pick the one that suits our tastes.
Shifted out of the KT tubes for powers, had not tried the KT77's with the EL tubes so put my EL39's in as power tubes with the KT77, and was so glad I did. Better in than the KT88's as powers. Was very surprised at how well the KT77 excels, being very similar to the EL34 should not have be that surprised. With the El 39's heavenly sounds coming out of the Sennheiser 800 now. DId not want to wear out the El39's but that is what they are for. This is the last pair of El 39's I have, oh well.
