RE: Which NOS EL84 for audio amplifier?

NOS EL84s of any stripe are costly, with Mullard and Amperex being extremely so. :>(

JJ's EL84s have reasonable "tone", are relatively inexpensive, and (at least for now) reliable, unlike their Octal production.

While "reissue" GEC tubes are undoubtedly nice, the price is fairly high.
