Pretty much depends on the sound you expect, but in the economy class of new production, inexpensive, tubes you might try JJ/Tesla which will give you a clean brighter sound or Mullards which will give a more full-range sound. Personally, I prefer the Mullards. If the JJ's, you will want to consider their E34L or the EL34. Both brands IMHO would be an improvement on the Sovteks. I have never heard these tubes on your equipment.
Seeking best sounding El-34 tubes for my power amplifier
I have a 150 watt monoblocks amplifiers made by Thor Audio. Thor Audio is out of business for quite a few years. Each 150 watt monoblock is round and has 8 El-34 output tubes on each monoblock for a total of 16 tubes. I currently have Sovtek tubes. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
