    I apologize, I definitely did not mean to start anything. English is not my native language and sometimes that shows regardless of my efforts. I meant "utmost", and it was not meant ironically.

    It's always possible that what I hear is not what other people hear, and like I've said in my edit for the post, the clean channel does have some chime, I was actually thinking about a 5F1 turned about more than halfway up, and the corresponding dirt on a typical EL84 amp. Obviously I did not express myself clearly enough.

    P.S.: In my limited experience, the H&K amps sound very sterile - they're well built and everything but lack, for the lack of a better word, feeling/character. When I think of EL84's I think of Marshalls.

    Here's a definitive test:
    6L6: 6 + 6 = 12
    EL84: 8 + 4 = 12

    I have thus proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that both tubes are equally swell. Carry on. You can thank me later.

    Ah but:


    6L6: 6 x 6 = 36
    EL84: 8 x 4 = 32

    That makes the 6L6 4 better innit.

    Yes, but is it still better when you divide the first number in the tube's name to the second number in the tube name multiplied by the number of straight lines that you need to draw you zodiac sign?
