The Mullard EL34 is one of the most famous tubes of all time. It is now back as one of the most versatile tubes for use in high fidelity stereo equipment and amplifiers.
Will work in place of: EL34, EL34B, 6CA7Testing and/or Matching
At VIVA TUBES, all of our customers get the same high standard of testing and matching. Some sellers charge more for premium matches but we believe all of our customers should get the same level of quality and service.
Tubes are tested and/or matched at full operating voltage with regulated power supply on a Maxi Matcher tester for general mutual transconductance (Gm). In addition, power tubes are tested/matched by plate current (Ip) and preamp tubes are tested/matched by gain. Rectifier tubes will be tested for emissions on a calibrated military grade tube tester.
Our goal is to match within 5% with an upper limit of 15% (15% is the industry limit to consider a set).
Hand written test data included.
Note that we do offer a few models which are tested & matched at the factory. They will be matched by the same parameters (Ip & Gm) but to the manufacturer's standards. Factory testing will be indicated in the item title and description.
Guarantee
We offer a minimum 90 day guarantee covering functional defects - including noise unless otherwise stated. The guarantee period begins the day you receive your order.

The best EL34 for the Willsenton R8
I have a Willsenton R8 "MK II" and have been rolling a bunch of EL34s for the past year, including the EH 6CA7, EH EL34, Psvane EL34PH and the Tung-Sol EL34B. The Psvane EL34PH has great clarity and detail but sounds a bit "thin". My go to tubes were the EH 6CA7, very musical and the Tung-Sol EL34B, very clean, detailed with some punch. But the Mullard EL34 surprised me with its imaging and accuracy in sound. Instruments sound more real, vocals are sharp. Of course amp topography makes a difference in the sound so the Mullards may not match your amp, but for the Willsenton R8, they can't be beat.
