EL34
Introduced by Britain's Mullard company in the early '50s, the EL34 was designed to be a powerful yet inexpensive tube for audio amplifiers. Capable of 40 watts, the EL34 could run circles around a 6L6, and its tall, thin glass envelope consumed minimal chassis space. The 34's low cost and high performance made it the obvious choice for British guitar amp companies such as Marshall, Hiwatt, Orange and Sound City.
6L6s
When RCA trotted out their metal-cased 6l6 in 1936 its 12.5-watt output must have seemed pretty wild to audio manufacturers constrained by the era's 6,-watt power tubes. The 6L6,'s phenomenal popularity led the way to improved variants such as the KT`66, El37 and 5881, and the 6L6GC, which when introduced in '59 yielded a blistering 30 watts per bottle. Its close cousin, the 588l,was basically a compact 6L6 developed by Tung-Sol in 1952 for military and industrial gear. Millions of 5881s did duty in the servo amplifiers of B52 bombers, while smaller numbers found their way into guitar amps such as Fender's 4x10 Bassman. The famous Sylvania 6L6GC-STR, developed for Fender in 1972, was an extra-rugged tube designed to hang upside down and survive 500 plate volts. Generally speaking, Sylvania STRs are considered one of the tightest-sounding 6L6s.

i wonder why they call it a baby the only thing small about it is its size, but the sound is BIG ;D teka! bakit ka nagtatanong? ;D ;D ;D musta na eico hf-81? mullard/philips miniwatt el-84 - value for money in terms of ruggedness, i'll go for these tubes anytime. although somehow it lacks those extensions in the upper region it well compensates it's short coming by excelling on the mid and lower spectrum. telefunken el-84/6bq5 - Ahhh!!!!........ Now this is a different animal. Definitely better than the philips miniwatt. Analytical at first but once you get to heat-up these tubes at it's desired operating level you're significant one will be having a hardtime to call you to bed. Very lush and well balanced tube especially those upper extensions. Downside of it is that a set of matched quads can easily burn a hole in your pocket. |

pre, 8k to 12k matched quad ng tele ngayon. ;D depende pa kung orig yun mga kahon at di pa burado markings sa tube.
tele 12ax7, naghahanap nga rin ako eh. try mo rin jj tesla na 12ax7, ganda rin tumunog, mura pa. para sa eico ba? haven't tried the Aero Gold Pin 12ax7's but you can easily get a pair for around 1.2k or even less at Cardinal Audio at the basement of Shoppesville, Greenhills.
