EL-34: JJ Tesla or Electro-Harmonix?


Between these two cheaper brands which do you guys recommend. I'm looking for decent tubes to go into an amp I intend to sell - will keep the nicer tubes currently in it for myself. Also, if you know of other brands in the $40/quad range please let me know. Thanks!

I recently went thru your exact situation and found the following:

Tesla's: an unoffensive tube, evenly balanced, but just a hair lean in the midbass

EH: Very lean, a sibilant bite in the mid treble, didn't make me want to listen

Svet Winged C: Yes. Smooth, balanced, no edge, great bass, makes me want to listen
