RE: Mullard XF1s vs EH 6CA7s

Steve
I have every Mullard EL34 made from XF1s to XF2s,both single and dual getter,I have Amperex square DD getter and the metal based Philips.

Maybe this quad of EHs I have are exceptional because I did not get this sound with my first quad of EHs which tested in the low 7000 range.

When you did your test,were you doing it in a guitar amp or a hifi amp? That changes the perspective entirely. These particular EHs have a very warm and full bodied midrange and I didn't have this with my other EH 6CA7s.
This is why I say the test results may be key in this case..
