I'd say you're hearing the JJs as they are. Rectifiers are critical in the sound chain.
Bendix 6106 appears to be recommended.

@sim_audio_nerd take a look at my post above dated 12-01 on my experience with various nos and old stock rectifiers. They do make a definite difference. Many of the ones listed are low priced. I tried some pricey ones such as Mullard and the highly touted Philips 5R4GYS. Like the Mullard it just didn’t sound any better than the US military brands on my system. US ones to me had a fuller, meatier and warmer sound with nice highs just slightly less clear and bright. Ended up selling the Mullard and Philips. They just didn’t sound as good on my system to me but all sounded good. Splitting hairs here… |
