Hello Marty the CV378 Black plate ( Left first two )sounds better when compared to the grey plate
KU52 = gz32 KU 53 = GZ33
Very good idea I wish I can use them instead of the Christmas lightings ;)
EL34 Metal base with different Date Code...1)SYA D4 D5... 2) SY1 56T TO 57C...3) SYN 5A TO 5E.....4) KEC 5D and SYO 67 With same Disc getter...5).. SYO 54L TO 56L..6)...SYA D4 SYA D5 With metal piece....7)...Difference between SYO and SYA
Hi Ron, if you want some midrange magic I will say these Big Brown XF1 will do the job. I like the Dark Brown base because it sounds more dynamic and power base , also the rhythms is the best of all Mullard made EL34s.
Hi Ron, The Mullard EL34 XF1 have four versions and the XF2 also have a few different structure as well, rather to compare them I think it will be better to get the best sounding one. I prefer the Big Brown base over all the others include the Metal one
