Yes but different supplier. $26 four valves $12four bases. Cheap compared to kt120 and I might be same power. What do I know about these type valves? Nothing ventured nothing gained.

I run my EL34s in the JE labs 6SL7/EL34SE AmpPeteC wrote: have 450v across the el34s. plate to cathode.
-39v across the 880 Ohm cathode resistors - so 44.3ma each side.
44.3ma x 450v = c. 20watts dissipation - so about 80% of recommended - quite hot but not crazy ?
Anyway - like the sound of this amp quite a lot.

Anode 391 volts
@ 29v/470R=61mA 22w
Seem to run happy and sounds very good too
I have some 6EM7s which I have been intending to replace the 6sl7s with must get round to tiring them
