I have not kept up on this tube and do have some NOS in Mullard and some others and some older Russian equivalents but was also wondering if any current EL84 types, hold up well to the better NOS?

The "reissue" Gold Lion N709 is probably what you are looking for. Under no circumstances, use this variant in circuitry that takes liberties with published spec's and, therefore, abuses the tubes.
The JJ EL84 is quite decent and is a good value. Perhaps minor liberties can be taken with this variant
In an amp that takes liberties or calls for 7189s, "the only game in town" is the Russian 6П14П-EB (6p14p-ev), AKA EL84M. That particular Russian variant is as tough as the proverbial brick outhouse and has pretty darned good sonics too.
Contact AA sponsor Jim McShane and discuss your needs with him.

Although I have not owned or tried every EL-84 type I have used many over the past years.
I agree with Eli, the reissue GL N709 is very close to a vintage Mullard (the gold standard EL-84). Jim is the man to see for this tube.
great person to deal with!

from 1982. They are NOS and test well. I also have some nice 7189s and 7189a's.
The amp is designed for 6BQ5. It is designed by David Berning, the Zotl 10.

I use these tubes (6П14П-ЕВ/6P14P-EV) with Eico HF-81 and they sound very clean and powerful.
I"m using that Russion )%&((^%%&* what ever number that is. And it is a great sounding tube.
It's in my Sherwood S-5000 and I am VERY happy with it.

EL34. I have some NOS Mullards that I hang onto. Also the Japanese Mullard based tube is good as everyone knows.
