brimer el34

Hi does anyone know the brimer el34 and how it would compair to a JJ for example? I´ve tryed looking on the net but can´t find a good comparison for the brimer el34. 🙁 I have a quad of them and wonder if they are any good:xeye:
 
Spilling?

If you actually mean Brimar (British-made for American market), then they're very good - one of the best NOS manufacturers.

Hey! I've just noticed that I've replied to your question before you asked it. How cool is that?
 
brimar

he Your right these are Brimar with an a. As you can see this is my first tube amp (a Radford st25) and I am completly new to the sound of tubes(wich I like) I got three quads of tubes with the amp and they are Sovtek´s JJ/tesla´s and the Brimar´s. I am amaised at how differnt thay sound at least the sovteks from the jj´s , the base on the sovteks was overpowering plus they seem to run hotter than the JJ ones. You probably all know this and shake your heads in disbelief at my :whazzat: ignorance.
Im curantly building an enclosure for Fostex´s 206e´s and will save the Brimars for those:smash: .

Thanks again
