I have been using the EH but I agree with Micheal. These new tubes have given me problems including infant burn out and a very tight squeeze because their diameter is greater than the vintage tubes I had used. More importantly they are not nearly as musical as the old tubes.
The most common tubes you find on ebay are RCA which are very good and Sylvania which I actually prefer for the sweeter sound.
Too many are pulls, you really have to search and be patient for matched very lightly used or true NOS. The alternative is a vendor on ebay who apparently has a case he is selling in his "Store" but be prepared to pay approx. $50 per tube, yes $200 a quad, AS IS!
