from the description of the 12AU7 CEI's that I bought.
"CEI stands for Calvert Electronics Inc. They usually sold tubes made by Mullard. Careful inspection shows that these are Mullard internals…just like the old logo Mullard we sell. The codes etched in the glass show they were made in the Mullard-related factory in India. Which is a really good thing. They have that famous Mullard midrange texture that cannot be denied."
Philips owned Mullard, right? So I guess that is the source of any confusion.

The tubes from India are often sold as Mullard but I believe Al Noaks is spot on. Enjoy the tube!
Well, it is a nice sounding tube, regardless of who actually made it. Better than any new production tube I have tried.
I am actually becoming a fan of these obscure, lesser known, nonetheless killer sounding, not to mention cheaper 'diamonds in the rough'.
Happy Listening!
