Thieliste's new Reference system

[Argonaut]

EL34s are much more tubey and engaging than KT88/KT120s is that right ?

I would recommend researching a series of posts within Ron’s own system thread where much of this and alternative options were discussed following on Ron acquiring his JA 100 amplifiers .

I will ask Jean-Christophe next week at Munich about swapping KT88s to EL34s.
My Jadis dealer is a big fan of EL34s so he could bring some to try out.

How's the bass with EL34s because with KT88 it is very impressive and deeper than most SS i have tried to date.
Which EL34 brand do you recommend ?
Thanks

I’d say they sound more human. I use these and am very pleased.

Problem is EL34s might not be able to drive my Thiel CS 3.7s as good as KT88s, otherwise i would be willing to try.
