RE: Confused about 6CA7/EL34



el34 was invented by mullard :a great commercial success

Contrasting europesn market ,Sylvania inevented 6ca7 ,a tube

half way between 6l6 and 6550,direct plug in for el 34 .

Different tubes ,same socket.

The best commercial american tube ,in my opinion ,was 7591/7868:

great sounding and original american vacuum tube.

Both mullard el34 and sylvania6ca7 are magnificient sounding

valves of the golden era .
