Mullard EL34 as a choice for your amp.

I recently bought Vacuum Tube Valley issue 16 to research the "which EL34" question, as it had an EL34 tube shoot-out. Apparenltly here are 3 different types of Mullard EL34's, of which type 2 and 3 rated very well, but they rated almost all the new production types (JJ E34L, Sovtec EL34G, Svetlana EL34) equally well, and several NOS Tungsram tubes better. They liked some 70's Japanese Amparex the best, surprisingly some Telefunken among the least, but almost all the tubes rated pretty closly. I use late Siemans, and like them.
