I just swapped the JJ 6CA7s in and have listened to one album only as of now. My initial reaction is very positive. They sound more robust and linear than the JJ EL34IIs and better overall if not quite as sweet. I'm not noticing a lack of high end detail, but they are darker. Of course that's JJ to JJ. And with Heresy. I don't have other brands to compare too in the EL34 family. Next will be my thoughts on the EL34IIs in the ST-70.
I'll listen more, but so far I feel like I'd only change back to KT120s (or 6550s or KT88s) to preserve tube life and not for sonics.
EDIT: My tubes have now burned in for over a week of fairly frequent play time.
