el34 electroharmonix fat bulb break-in?

[Fritz]

HEllo,

I just installed a set of the Electro Harmonix el 34 fat bulb tubes in dynaco mk3s. So far they are not my style and Im wondering if I can expect much change as they run in? Im hoping the midrange will come out and the treble will go away?

I had the JJs before and really liked them even though most people found the sound very laid back.

Fritz,

It's all a matter of taste.
You give them some more time to run in.
Still I would go for the US 6CA7 for deep bass and luscious mids.
The E34L Tesla were good too.

Suck it and see.

Rgds,

Fritz,

Don't know where these EH where manufacured but people tell me some Russkies take about a week or so to run in.
Don't ditch'em yet.

Cheers,
