Much of what was posted by Frogman, Dover and Lewm are in agreement with my experience that I resisted posting. I’m going to make a few comments that are guaranteed to generate pushback.   SME V12 and perhaps other SME versions use Van Den Hul s...

Allnic KS Park visit to USA
My reply approved EL34, I’ve used JJ myself but they were EL 34,I have not used E34L and not sure what all the differences are.  There are lots of old stock EL34 such as original Mullard, you can safely try those to obtain higher performance 
Allnic KS Park visit to USA
