Any opinions on retubeing W/winged c or mullard re


I'm retubeing my cary v12's and decided between the winged c's(formerly svetlana) and the new reissue mullards.
usually listen to classic jazz on LP,SACD and CD.

Thanks

I have read and heard many non-flattering things about the Mullard reissues. I had a pair of Electro Harmonix EL34's and another pair of 6CA7's. They were both OK, but not ideal. I pondered the SED's, but wound up buying a quad set of JJ/Tesla E34L's (they are quite inxpensive and supposedly had a more extended top end than the SED's, which I have heard roll off a bit).

Bottom line; I'm quite happy with them. Now if your system tends to be bright, then maybe the SED's will work better for you in helping to tame that (I haven't heard them though). I think the SED winged C's and the JJ/Tesla's are probably the best in production EL34's out there right now, by popular consensus.

Enjoy,
