Best Sounding EL84 - 7189

I'm interested in the very same question regarding these tubes as well. Any new observations since 2006 and 2010?

I'd like to add could anyone put budget suggestions and then more expensive tubes too. Thanks

Thanks Czarivey

Are the Telefunken 7189 NOS you talk about these:

Tungsram EL84's (labeled Ei/Yugoslavia with Ei boxes)

One of my favorite sellers has these Ei labeled Tungsram EL84s for $42 each. Not too bad but I will have to sell some stuff to get them.
