Title: paramour tube choice
Post by: matt99eo on January 21, 2010, 05:58:54 AM

Okay,  I need some new power tubes for my paramours. 

I am trying to decide betweent the JJ/Tesla 2a3 40w http://www.tubedepot.com/jj-2a3-40.html (http://www.tubedepot.com/jj-2a3-40.html)

or 

EH gold plate 2a3

or 

Shuguang 2A3C   

Any  comments here appreciated!

I have no experience with any except the Shuguang 2A3C.  I like them almost as much as the cherished pair of RCA Blackplates I have.

I have the Shugang 2a3c and thought they were better than the small sample of NOS I tried.  But can't compare them to EH 2a3 as I have only had EH 300B, and no JJ.  But you might want to head over to the SET asylum on audioasylum.com.  JJ gets very good press there.
