Anyone tried some different tubes, like KT66 (in 6L6 mode) KT77 (in EL34 mode) or 5881s with the Dyne? I am contemplating some GoldLion KT77s for mine ...
 
Hmmm I have a quad of Siemens RFT EL34s lying here, guess I should try if they bias fine. Hmmm, but I'm still keen on trying them Gold Lion KT77s ... darn expensive though.
 
I just fitted a quad of RFT Siemens EL34s in the Dyne and while they are biasing a bit cold (about 33mA) they sound great. I am missing a bit the big bottom end of the Mesa 6L6s, but on the other hand, the EL34 grit and crunch is there in spades. Can't have it all I guess.

I also had a quad of EL34BHTs (I didnt even know anymore I had them) and they bias a bit better, they sound very balanced, more bass, but are lacking the awesome grit of the RFTs
