Which brand of 45 tubes do you use?


Can anyone using 45 tube amplifiers share their knowledge about what manufactures make them and your impressions of the quality. An impression of the sound quality in your system would be useful. I know that there is NOS, EML and Sophia Electric 45s. Any others?
Thanks!

I have 4x EML mesh plate bottle 45 tubes running in my triode labs parallel integrated.  Best sound I’ve heard.  Yes the EML’s are pretty expensive.  Nothing comes close to this amp in accurate musical reproduction.  
Omega super alnico monitors running very high efficiency helps create the immediacy.  A small sub was a perfect addition.  
Not sure if the mesh plate Sophia ´s would sound better.  I haven’t heard them.
