Hi everyone,
I'm building a hi fi tube amplifier that requires two couples of EL 34:
I found them from Mullard and from Electro Harmonix.
As I'm pretty new about tubes,I'd like to know if there is any difference between the two brands as sound quality and/or applications;
As regard to the different possible applications in fact,I heard from somewhere that Electro Harmonix tubes are more suitable for instrumental power amplifiers such as guitar amplifiers than for HI FI ones,but I'm not completely persuaded of this.
From other hand I also heard that Electro Harmonix are the "very best" for HI FI applications...
So,I'm a bit confused, you see?
Are you aware of such type of "limitations",or,in your opinion could I theorically use indifferently Mullard or Electro Harmonix EL 34 vacuum tubes in a HI FI power amplifier?
Thanks for your kind reply
Sincerely
