The place of manufacture is very important when selecting small signal tubes.

Different brands were often manufactured in each others plants.

Amperex tubes were often made in Mullard plants and vice-versa. So if you are looking for a Mullard sound, you have to make sure it wasn't manufactured in Holland.

Brent Jesse's website (link) is very good for tube information.

Cheers!
