Svetlana vs Electro-Harmonix EL-34 tubes

I need to re-tube my modified ST-70 outputs. Any thought on Electro-Harmonix versus Svetlana EL-34 tubes?

The cary produce some huming even with matched tubes. With the shuguangs they where complitely silent. By the way are you happy with the sound of the 40M? I found for my self that bass extension is not Top... Any comment? regards sam

They are more dynamic and detailed in the midrange--a little less tubby sounding than the Svetlana. This was in Cary 40M signatures.
