KT 66 or NOS EL34

I have a modified Dynaco Stero 70 amp from Will Vincent that accepts either KT66 or EL34. I tied the stock EL 34 and swictched to the Gold LION KT66. The sound is bigger, more robust and dynamic with the KT 66. Just wondering if I substituted a NOS EL34 if they would better the KT66. does anyone have any experience with these tubes and what EL34's they would reccommend

It will be different, but as for "better" that is hard to say. The change will depend on the EL-34 you choose and what you think of the sound. In very broad terms the sound should tighten up and emphasize the sound in the midrange and higher frequencies. The sound may become more detailed.
NOS EL-34s are really quite rare these days and very expensive. Which tube were you going to use?
