Thanks for your insights. My amplifier can use 6L6 or EL34 tubes. I find myself going up and back as each brings different characteristics to the sound. Interestingly I am currently running 5881; which to my ear sound the best. But I have noticed the NOS EL 34 world is drying up and wanted to get one more quad for the future. The RAM EL34 NOS and Tesla both seem interesting. Do you know if anyone is still stocking the Tesla tubes?
Siemens EL 34
I came across Siemens EL 34 tubes for sale at RAM tubes.
My understanding is that these are 1970's tubes manufactured at the old Telefunkin factory.
I have heard conflicting reports of the sonic character of this era Telefunkin tube. On one extreme warm and large sound stage. On the other end, thin and a bit bright.
Has anyone heard that era Siemens/ Telefunkin EL 34?
