Over at another forum that I frequent, there's a question posed: "What's the best tube for Blues ?"
Now, given that you might be a fan of SRV / Strat type blues; Peter Green / LP type blues; or a myriad other "styles", that seems to me like a pretty far-ranging question.
However, the majority had it, that the KT66 is king. Personally, I like the warmth of the 6V6.
I once, stupidly, bought and sold a quartet of GEC KT66's, and rurned a nice profit. The last ones that have come up for auction on our Ebay equivalent sold for moon-money !
I have access to a couple of reasonably priced NOS Mullard EL37's, which are of course 6L6 / KT66 "family".
Do any of you have any experience with the EL37, and/or any comment to offer regarding similarity/difference vs. KT66 please ?
