Got Justin's message this morning.
Let's hope he will be able to deliver the BHSE this summer.
Regrads,
Erico

These are kind of yummy. Much better than my modern day Mullards.

Using KT88's in a Blue Hawaii is a very good way of blowing up your amp.  The amp is designed for the EL34 only, the 6CA7 is technically not a EL34 but the difference is just big enough so that Sylvania/GE didn't have to pay royalties to Mullard for producing them.  The KT77 is a similar case, very close design that should work just fine.  The same does not apply to KT66's, KT88's, KT90's, KT120's etc.

The SED's are nice

Are you talking to me, Birgir? They are a matched quad of EL-34's. I actually bought them based on your advice.

 

[spritzer]

I wasn't talking to you Aaron, somebody mentioned KT88's earlier and while it was probably a typo it is better to set the record straight.

Interested in knowing the dimensions, W x D x H, and the weight (if known), of the BHSE amp and power supply, as well as for the Aristaeus.
 
Thanks!

I have a quad of winged C (SED) EL34 for my WES but haven't tried them yet.  Was waiting for my Shugang 50 years Treasures 6CA7 to die first.  Maybe it's time to try them out.

Thank you, Spritzer.
 
It was Indeed a typo, I was talking about the KT77.

I'm currently using the GE Fat Boy 6CA7 and I'm enjoying a lot more than the Shuguang Treasure.

No response from an e-mail to Justin yet for tube biasing instructions.  I am hoping to use these KT77s this weekend. 

 

[warp08]

These are (date) quad-matched original-issue Mullard EL34/6CA7 xf1s.  Have been saving these for a while for the BHSE.  Hopefully sometime later this year they actually see use.

Nice tubes! Very hard to find!
Got a message that my SR-009 is shipping today.
Let's now wait for the BHSE!
