Mullard New ReissueTubes???


I have seen these starting to pop up.There is a quad of EL34 of these tubes here at Audiogon up for auction.
Has anyone heard these and what are your opinions on these.
Thanks Brian.

St. Petersburg Russia is the home of the original Svetlana tube that carries such a fine reputation. It was chosen by Audio Research, Tube Research, VTL and others and proved to be a very reliable tube.

The Reflector plant is the home of Electro Harmonix, Sovtek and the NEWLY RE BRANDED Svetlana tube (NOT the Svetlana everyone knew year before last).

Point I was making, these new Mullards are another run of the same tube from the same factory as has taken over the other names in the business.

In other words, don't pay $100.00 each thinking they are Mullards from England from the 60's. They certainly look like them, right down to the color and printing on the box and even a brown base. They are labeled "Made in Russia" so New Sensor is not trying to pull the wool over any ones eyes, but at EBAY I see MANY vendors representing them otherwise.

The only reason for my detailed response.
Thanks for the response.
I see here they are up to 182.00 for a new Quad and at Ebay you can buy the same thing as here with BUY it NOW for 96.00 or 98.00 for a new Quad??
I can see the prices of these are going to be ALL over the place.
Thanks Again
Yes Albert is correct. I know the guys at New Sensor and they are good tubes for the price but don't compete with the "real: tubes. Don't get fooled, BTW you never know who you are bidding against either.

Happy Listening.
Good advice people and thanks for the heads up but that aside what do they sound like? How are they compared to other EL34s past and present?
