Calculon, are your CJs wired in UL or triode?

Formerly YB-2, Both CJs are ultra-linear. I did get a chance to listen to a PrimaLuna in both triode and UL. Triode was a little smoother and UL was slightly less veiled. I actually preferred the PrimaLuna in UL.
I do have a quad of reissue Tung-Sol EL34B's which are pretty decent, but don't match the NOS EL34's. I also have a quad of GL KT77s. Maybe I have a bad batch. They aren't bad, but in my Classic 60 I thought they weren't quite as good as the Tung Sol. A little fuzzy in comparison. Perhaps the SE upgrade corrected that.
