JJ tubes with an old RFT EF86...I tried the JJ EF806S and it became microphonic after a few months.

all early 60's Mullards except the EF86 is a 58 mullard long plate and the EZ81 rectifier a 59 Mullard
The greatest noticible improvement was when I rolled the last tube the EZ81 to the NOS Mullard after allready rolling everthing else.

I tried a bunch of NOS variants in the Hayseed and I can get along with the JJ tubes fine. I am not a big fan of Mullard EL84s but those dogs will certainly hunt.
I really like the old BB, Tesla and TFKN EL84 tubes...not too shabby.
