I have a triple recto, and was wondering is there really a big difference in tone from the 6L6's vs. the EL84's? I would love to try the EL84's out in my head and do some recording, but as you may know the triple needs six tubes and the trial can get somewhat expensive for something I may not like.

I am asking if there really is a big difference to even try?
 
I liked them in my Dual Rec as Guitarzan pointed out in that older thread but I did not try them coupled with 6L6's. It was definetly a cool, different sound and gave more chime to the clean channels. It would be quite expensive to try out in a TR though. It would be hard for me to recommend something so expensive for someone.. I am back to pure 6L6's for now but I think I'll be using the 84's again soon, just trying something new.
