I know that the Hiwatt DR503/504 had EL34. The beauty of the Triwatt is the lower wattage of the 6V6 or KT66 power section. Out of curiosity which tube, 6V6 or KT66, sounds more like the EL34 original power section? Not volume, but tone?

I've never played through a DR503/504 with EL34s, but I tried the 6V6 (NOS RCA) as well as KT66 (reissue Gold Lion) in the Triwatt and I much preferred the KT66's. Rounder tone, glassy top end. Did not break up nearly as quickly as the 6V6.

Thank you.
