“Kevin suggested these for my Quicksilver Mid Monos and they have not disappointed. In fact, I am quite surprised at how good they are. They have a confident, powerful sound, with balanced response top to bottom. I don't think they have any particular sonic signature - they just let the music through. Highly recommended...”

“These are excellent tubes. Made well, with good quality material. This generation of power tubes being produced by the American co. New Sensor at the Reflector plant in Saratov Russia, are nearly as good, or even AS good, as the last years of production of Sylvania and Phillips branded tubes made in the US the 80's. They seem to be moving toward picking up the mantle of the old technology rather than just cranking out old Russian millitary types, which can only be a good thing. This Mullard reissue is powerful and has great balance. Low end response is not flabby. Midrange is Forward like most of the Phillips varieties.Nice heavy glass and the support posts are thick, and the getter is a normal "o" type, not one of those weird ,Russian, upside down flying saucers, which look to me like noise problems waiting to happen.The New sensor "Mullard" - EL34 and "Tungsol" - 5881 are without question the best sounding modern production output tubes, if you have something in the 50-100 watt range.”

“This tube works great in combination with the Telefunken ECC801S I recently installed.in my AudioPrism Debut Mk. 1. Amazing detail & 3D presentation while sounding warm and more powerful than the Winged C SED''s in this same combination. They do sound great, and they rock!. The SED''s had a more delicate sound and seemed to have a slightly recessed midrange, and seemed to lack he detail of the Mullards.”
