Best current EL34 tubes

I need a matched quad and noticed that the svetlana. Electro-Harmonix, and JJ are all about the same price. Which are the best ones to buy for natural sound accuracy? Thanks for the help in advance.

THAT'S EXACTLY HOW XF2 MULLARDS SOUND IN MY DYNA ST70. I DON'T LIKE THAT SOUND, THOUGH. MY MULLARDS SIMPLY SIT ON MY AUDIO SHELF, APPRECIATING IN VALUE.

You won't find a more dependable seller than Upscale. Check out his test/burn-in procedures(listed here): (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/product.asp?itemid=63&catid=86)
