I'm using Mullards, but really, I can't say I prefer Mullards to anything else because they/it are my first experience with EL34s. I can say that, with my amp, I prefer EL34s over 6V6s. I don't consider myself a high gain fella, but I like some dirt. I find what pleases me most is driving the arse end of my amp good and hard. I got the Hotplate that Snyder told me about. $120. Not bad, eh? It allows me to "get there" without the insane volume and the speaker doth protest much less. I'll likely grab some of them Ruby's to compare, and since I only need two, we won't need to break up a quad.
