The NOS RCAs are very nice and much better than the stock Jolida tubes. I just replace the RCAs with Mullard reissues and that is also a quality tube, nicely made and good sound, just a tad more neutral than the NOS RCAs.
New production EL84/6BQ5 tubes?
Right now there finally seems to be alot of new choices in this tube type. Has anyone out there done their own shoot out of these tubes? How do they compare to your favorite NOS types? I am curious about the new Mullards, Gold Lions, TAD (Tube Amp Doctor),etc. Or, do you feel the standard Electro Harmonix and Sovteks are good enough. How about sharing your experiences and saving us all a bunch of time and money. I'll share this: I am very impressed with the Gold Lions even though my reference is NOS Mullard or "D" getter Bugle boys. I'm thinking of getting another set of the Lions, but maybe there is something even better out there. What do you think? Amps by the way are the Fisher 30A mono's
