Best EL34 reissue?


What's the best affordable EL34 reissue?

I see a few options: JJ Svetlana Mullard Elctro-Harmonix Tungsol Groove

Almost all are made in Russia.

FWIW I have had nice results with both EH fat bottle 6ca7s and JJ 6ca7s in my pushpull 17 watt stereo amp. EH a touch warmer and the JJ's a bit more transparent but both nice tubes and super affordable.
Based on some responses in this thread, thanks Sfar, I got a quad of Genelex KT-77's last week from Jim McShane. Great service and fast communication and shipping. The tubes are as good as advertised more transparent and just more oomph than my previous JJ's for lack of a better word. A great rec thanks guys!
