You should hear differences btwn diff makes of el34s or even tubes of the same manufacturer. This is why Groove Tubes marks tubes w/ diff #'s for early or late break-up.

Real EL34 has a suppressor grid and softer vacume, US made 6CA7 is a hard vacume tube and has beam forming plates instead of suppresor grid for grid 3 structure.

Should sound different.
