Okay, I received delivery of a new Rachael. I got it without tubes because I've got a few. I loaded it with matched EL34-WC, matched 6N1p, and an Art 274b.
So, far, it has been on for about 12-15 hours or so.
And, so far, I'm not thrilled.
To be frank, it sounds like my Van Alstine. Seriously. Don't get me wrong. I like the Van Alstine. I just don't want another amp with the same sound.
Am I a judging it too early. Do, I need 100 hours before I can see what is going on?
The amp has a switch to go between 4 and 8 ohm. I'm not sure which is which but I know in one direction it is extremely bright and it hurts the ears. In the other position is sounds alot better, warmer.
Anyway, any advice? Is there a better tube compliment I should use?
