3. That sucks. Who'd you order it from?
What's scary is I saw the post subject and immediately thought "Sov-Tek"....

4. Yes
What type of tube amp do you have? What sort of tube did you order? From where?

6. I have
a rebuilt Dyna ST-70 it was time to re tube anyway. I ordered a quad of Electro-Harmonix EL34EH from

www.tubestore.com

Owning tubes is a hobby. It's always something!

7. Tubes
The dynacos are nice. I'm curious as to what you think of the EH's after they've burned in. I mainly use sovteks because I need 16 of them and my tastes outstrip my wallet. One thing to remember about tube amps, you do need to retube them every now and then and they have a way of blowing at the worst possible time BUT replace the tubes and avoid lightning and the amps should last until the transformers wear out (about 60-80 years!). Try finding a 20 year old transistor!

8. That's why you have a backup amp
or one you can steal easily.
