The current production Svetlana branded tube is not a real Svetlana. It is made by Sovtek and is not very good. The original Svetlana factory is now selling under the name SED with a Winged C logo. This is a great EL34-E34L. Almost as good as some of the very expensive NOS tubes. I think it is considerably better than the JJ version. Again, the real Svetlana tubes are now branded SED-Winged C
I need to replace my E34 tube on my Audio Aero Amp
I bought an Audio Aero Capitole amp on audiogon and recently I noticed quite the, for lack of a better description, feedback noise that would happen in my right channel shortly after powering up the amp.
I tried trading tubes from the left channel to the right and after much experimentation, I have isolated the problem to the E34 tube.
these are the tubes that came with the amp. They are 'JJs".
Question: are there better tubes? Can I use other brands or should I just stick with the same replacements?
Any suggestions, and a name of a distributor are appreciated.
thanks.
