Opinions on RCA EL84?

Post by jcr1234 »

I have an opportunity to pick up some nos RCA EL84's. Im not exactly sure how much they are, probably $20 each. How do they compare to the Mullard or others that are so highly regarded?
Thanks,
Jon

Top of the range. Sometimes they ARE relabelled Mullards ... but if it says RCA on them, that's a sign of quality.

Not necessarily. RCA re-branded all sorts towards the end.
