I have the Prima Luna Premium Dialogue HP Amp. I was using the KT120 tubes for the last 2 years and although these are very nice tubes with airy highs and tight bass with plenty of slam, I found the midrange muddy and fatiguing. I switched back to the original EL 34 and found the magic again. I recently decided to try the Sophia Electric EL 34's based on all the good things I heard about them. They have about 15 hours on them (100 hours is the break in time) and they sound fantastic. Wider and deeper sound stage, more transparency, voices come alive in front of you and plenty of bass and slam. Extremely happy with them.
Sophia EL34-ST Tubes
Does anyone have experience using Sophia EL34-ST tubes? Currently I'm using GL KT77 tubes in my Primaluna integrated amp. I tried other EL34 tubes along with KT88 and KT120 tubes but feel the KT77 have the smoothest mid-range especially with female vocals without sounding harsh. Supposedly the Sophia tubes have a 300B type sound from one review. Any opinions?
