In Reply to: Best tube (?EL84) for Leben CS300 posted by fstein on July 31, 2012 at 03:29:25:
Don't know the bang for the buck answer I am sorry to say, but if I had to guess it might be GE or Sylvania if you can find them. I don't know how they sound but do use a fairly close relative of the EL-84 which is the 7868. RCA are prolly the best but getting impossible to find. I use GE and Sylvania with good results.
What I do know with great certainty about EL-84s is that the real, made in Great Britain, Mullards are very, very, very good. I had some pretty old, weaker ones which worked miracles in a headphone I amp I had at that time. Get real Mullards if you possibly can save up the $400 or so you'll need. Check out the asylum trader I have had only good outcomes from dealers here. Or just find a guy with a good rep who sells tubes primarily on e-Bay and you prolly get the right tubes. They are well worth it IMO.
