RE: Nah

Stu, I think that when most people talk about vintage Mullard 12ax7s, they are referring to the I61 or I63 short plate versions made in Blackburn. Still fairly common to find in good shape, I find these quite warm and rich in my amp (the Mullard sound?).
The I65 were all made in Heerlen Holland I believe although I am sure many ended up with a Mullard label (cross labeling being rampant at the time). Still I consider these Amperex (same as Bugle Boys) not Mullards. The long plate series are far rarer to find these days, I don't think that many people these days have actually heard a pair of the same type in good shape.
