EL 34 tubes


Looking for EL 34 tubes for a Leben amplifier.  Not ready to spend the dollars needed for NOS.  Any suggestions on currently produced options for EL 34?

i have had poor luck w JJ EL34’s in the past in both sound quality (harsh treble and mids) as well poor reliability ... but others seem to have better experiences more recently
agree w others here who have mentioned new production russian ’reissue’ gold lion kt77 and mullard/tungsol el34’s are the best of the lot

as with most tubes, they need some burn in time to settle into their true sound character
