In Reply to: Ei Elite 6dj8 anyone?? posted by hondadanda on October 16, 2002 at 14:19:33:
I've had a pair of these running for about 3 months now, and they're still well matched with good section balance. I tried them in my Njoe Tjoeb and they had good tone, but a little soft. Only a buffer stage in the Njoe Tjoeb, though, so they might do better in the Heart. I put them behind a pair of Tele 12AX7s in my PAS pre and they really sound good there--great tone. They remind me a lot of my better Bugle Boys if I had to pick a 6DJ8 that they "sound like". I actually prefer them to the BBs; tighter bass and a more delicate top end with the same sweet mids, so they maybe sound a little lighter overall. If you need a good 6DJ8, I can't see any reason to buy NOS any more--I think you'll like these. Can't beat the price.
