RE: The 6SJ7 is a single sharp cuttoff pentode tube, not compatable with 6SN7

Good afternoon Chip647!
It's funny that you tell me this.
Garry Wong, the guy that design this amp 16 years ago, told me via email, that I could use a pair of KT88 tubes in this amp.
I did do this.
I ran the amp for about 8 hours, but nothing happened like that.
But the guy that sold it to me at Sounds Classic, told me that, he put 6SL7 tubes in it at first.
But later on, he switched to 6SN7 tubes.
But what he put in here, isn't giving me the kind of a sound that I wish to get from this amp.
I want to use this amp as apart of my sound monitoring system in my recording studio.
But the sound needs to be right enough for me to hear exactly what I'm mixing down.
And sometimes, I restore old recordings.
I need to be able to hear what's going on there too.
You can have the best monitors in the world.
But if your amp isn't right, then what you hear, isn't gonna be exactly right either.
And as for those 6SJ7 tubes, everywhere I look on the internet for them, only shows me NOS tubes.
But most of them, are very costly.
I asked Garry, "who makes those anymore these days?"
But he really had no idea.
Can you help me out here please?
Thanks in advance!
