If you love EL34 you owe it to your self to get a pair of Tung Sol EL34B.

Great sounding 34.
 
Mine came with mullard el34s (and my previous amp was a 6l6) and they sounds so good I haven't been in any rush to take them out and try the sovtek 5881's I have lying around. They sound fantastic, even on the dlx. I don't know if it's just the amp or the tubes though, but I'm damn happy :thumbsup: The highs are not shrill but still clear, the bass is not boomy at all but still doesn't feel stiffl, and the mids just have something I can't put my finger on, but it's great. Very smooth without being the least bit bland. It's like all the frequencies blend in well with each other, more like a continuum rather than trying to match 3 different faders in and out to get that right combination.
 
I love the SED winged C EL34s and heard the Mullards and Tung Sols are awesome as well. I have a set of JJs here to try.
