A Few Tube Questions

My 76' 1987 puts out 365 Volts at the plates. Kinda low. But the amp sounds awesome. I put in a set of Ruby EL34BSTRs (Big Bottles) and when i hit very low notes or chords, i get a rattling sound, sounds like a badly blown speaker rattle. Switched the tubes out for JJE34L's and problem gone. I put the Ruby's in my 100 watt JCM800 and i don't get the rattle. Could the Tubes be overpowering the 50 watter or something? I know little about tubes.

2nd, are Sovtek EL34's worth a shit? What are your opinions of these.

Thanks
Dax

I guess everyone is tired of tube questions.

i like the sovtek el34's. they are a good tube and they can take a beating. i also like the sovtek 12ax7lps. i have some ruby 12ax7s. they are really loud and trebly. i know i did not answer your other question, thats because i dont know the answer.
