I had a not so satisfying experience with them also. My JJ E34L's were crackling, popping and then cutting my volume in half. I bought new Mesa STR454's and the amp runs fine. he refused to believe that there could be something wrong with his tubes and asked me to put 1 E34L in with a 6L6 (6L6 bias) to see if the problem still existed. I'm not brave enough to risk my $1500 amp to see if a $15 tube is bad. :shock:

Speaking of JJ's. I talked to him on the phone, very nice guy. But ****, .. he basically said if you dont like my tubes, you are tone deaf. I was like .. ok .. I didn't say I did not like your tubes, just trying to ask if the value written on the box is cool with the recto. I had bought some E34L's for a TSL *returned* . so I wanted to know if the ones he sold to me were cool for the Boogie..
.. I said they were a tad muddy, and wanted ru nthe number on the box by him.
. oops. bang!
