Need new valves for my amps. Have had two sets from Hotrox in the past with no problems.
Looking at Watford's site, they 'appear' to do rigorous burn in/testing and have a better range of signal valves.
I'm tempted to try Watford but need a quad of KT88s and the only ones in my price range are JJs.
Had a quad of these before and had no complaint for a few years but when they go, they tend to do it in a bit too spectacular a fashion for my liking!
Loved the last quad of Sovteks, cheap as chips from Hotrox, sounded great and dead reliable. Unfortunately they are no longer in production.
These and the Electro Harmonix seem able to just fade away without taking the amps with them.
As said no experience of Watford and wondering their testing is more likely to weed out any duds?
