I Like the siemens EL-34 very much - have been running them in my RM-9 for the last 20 years (I hadn't really added it up before - a long time) and have been quite satisfied with the sound!

Happy Listening

6bq5, if you have tried other tubes, can you compare the sonic characteristic of the Seimens?
Thanks...

  Unfortunately the only other tubes that I have tried were the Chinese 6CA7s form the early '90s - and I did not like them as much as the Siemens - too 'round' and not as tight in the Bass. A nice mid-range, but not better than the Siemens.

siemens never ever built own EL34 (as i know). most siemens labeled ones have RFT origin ("dimple top"). also mullards (B-coded = blackburn plant) were labeled as siemens tubes. so siemens freaks enjoy with RFT or mullard...

  All the Siemens labeled EL34's I have were made in the Sittard, Holland Philips plant.
  I think they are every bit as good as the Mullard made in the Blackburn, England Philips plant or the Amperex made in the Heerlen, Holland Philips plant.
  All three are Philips tubes made to the Philips standards.
