NOS EL34 Non- Mullard
If early Mullard is you pick look for Matsushita/Japan El34’s. Perhaps 6L6GC, assuming that these are for the Leben, but these my be high ticket as they are desired for Fender amps (both vintage and new). The Matsushita’s are similar to XF3/XF4 ...

*DAC
"I just wondered if there is a way to elaborate on those background sounds (details) a bit more." Yes, speaker placement (including toe-in). Perhaps just slight/minor repositioning if the ESL's are already sounding close to what you want. I ass...
