I've tried JJ KT88 in my Primaluna Prologue 5 power amp. Compared to EL34 I found they offered more consistency from top to bottom, even handed. Less pronounced mids, matched to better bass. More modern sound. Saying that I love EL34s too.Originally Posted by Haselsh1

The JJs are renowned for their solid state like bass, deep, tight and controlled. They are also very clear and clean, not vintage.
