Been doing some testing, tweeking and the JJs just seem better, more natural and accurate than the Genalex in a preamplifier/amplifier settings.
The Genalex have higher orders of distortion, regardless of loadline, resulting in a bright top end, too "edgy", even with varying plate load lines. Maybe compensate some with "dark" sounding caps, or for full sounding systems? The Genalex E88cc is quieter VS JJ though.
For 50 bucks each, I was disappointed.
Anyone else audition the Genalex E88cc?
Cheers
