The Mullard EL34 reissues weren't bad either, though under those other two for me. If I get a chance this weekend, I'll refresh my memory with some of these comparisons. I need to do more of this over the coming weeks as I am thinning out my collection narrowing down to top choices.

I hear you, but also FloridaBoy does not like the idea
as he has tried it in the past and considers the GL KT-77 unbeatable, which I agree with. I guess you guys are right. OTOH, this would prove or disprove my theory, though, and everything points to something like the 6P3S-E: relatively weak, but very transparent and balanced. The EL34B would also offer an advantage in body of sound thanks to the 55% higher plate current and some of that inherited midrange magic typical of the EL34 family, along with being electrically the best non-Triode output tube for Triode connection... Tempting! If you get a chance to listen to those again, let me know your latest impressions. Thanks!
