JJ 2A3-40 currently not warrantied for BH amps..other recommendations?[resolved]

[mkane]

  I'm ruined by the SET side of things. I've had a pp el34 amp out on loan for a few months and it came back today. I put it back in rotation and it's nice but thin/less detailed and a bit in your face sounding. I'm going to leave it and see if my wife figures it out. Kind of like a $25 bottle of wine compared to a $60 bottle.

Sorry bout that.  Forgot to mention the side effects of SET before you joined the fray. 

I'll try to save you from future "ruinedness"".  Whatever you do, do not get a pair of Altec Duplexes!

^^^that's the guy who sold his Stereomour to me.

  They arrived today and they are quite a step up from the stock tubes. They mellowed out the briteness of the Cornwall's and really gave the mid range a kick in the pants. I'm impressed. Less that an hour's playtime.

I've had my JJ 2A3-40 tubes now for awhile and can say I really, no I really really like them!

+1 and we have intergated a Quickie into the fray.

I'll pile on with the loving the JJ 2a3 in the Stereomour. I tried to order them several months (I think Sept) when the issues where being explored but they wouldn't let me. I ordered them two weeks ago on Wed and they arrived that Friday. So the delivery was amazingly quick too. I have put at least 150 hours (couple of  24 hr days) on them rolling and breaking in 3 12AT7. They have excellent bass, drums are fantastic, top to bottom great. I have not a/b'd to the RCA 2a3 (dual blackplate)that I have but I know the bass and percussion hit me right off as holly smokes with the JJ.

  Feeling like a hermit spinning LP's all day long when it in the 70's and there's plenty of chores outside to get done. Wish it would rain.

ee: Received mine about a week ago. Just awesome. I haven't put on my headphones since the JJ's arrived.

Ordered a Psvane 12AT7 from China today. Whats another $100 bucks after the thousands invested so far. Will this every end?  Probably not! Wonder whats next. Wonder what a Bepree will do for this system? I have no idea!

  I have a Psvane 12AT7. It's quite detailed. A bit on the brite side when used with a DV 10X5. I have a Quickie pushing my Stereomour. I like it. There's a bit of hum so I back down the volume to just above the noise floor.

You can buy quite a pile of Telefunken 12AT7's for $100.

Thats two for 100 paul. A single tube was 65. Lot of bucks for a 12AT7.
