I'm not sure of the exact "heritage" of the reissues but I was told the brand name was bought and the old Mullards were reverse engineered in Russia made to "vintage Mullard EL34 single getter specifications". I was sceptical but gave it a try and bought a matched quad from SRS Webstore (about $100) for my second system Canary CA706. Heard a slight increase in power and overall dynamic response over the EH tubes I was using. For the price they were a good investment. Got tired of trying to find a reputable (and reasonably priced) quad of NOS Mullards.
The bigger difference were the NOS GE 6SN7 input tubes. Much better "bottom" and very sweet midrange. A great investment that I almost overlooked.
btw I noticed that Groovetubes is selling a reissue of the GE EL34's but not much in the way of specific info.
