    Wow!! These are some of the best EL34s I’ve used in years. Very warm, Very musical. Reminds me of a “Winged C” . Dont let the price fool ya! These tubes sound great for the money!!

  2. Dana G. (verified owner)

    The only reason they didn’t get 5* is because there was no automatic email notification of the purchase

    It will be a while before I can use them (rebuilding the amp) but they did a great job of matching 8 of them within a couple of Ma of each other. Thank You. Walt

    Great Product. Great service. The Ness Tone El34’s sound awesome! I am a Metal guy but I like my lead and clean tones to sing these done the job perfectly!

    These sound wonderful, especially given the price. They are very comparable to my now-dead Winged C EL-34 tubes. Using in a Dynaco ST-70 with original input board (7199 tubes).

  14. Kenny Russell

    These are fantastic tubes. Great sound and a vintage look. I much prefer them over the “other” current production” tubes I have tried.

  15. Kenneth R. (verified owner)

    Super nice tubes at a price anyone can afford. I use these exclusively in my new Dynaco 70 amps.

  16. Clayton (verified owner)

    A real bargain on great sounding tubes.

  18. STEVEN A. SUNDQUIST (verified owner)

    VERY GOOD.ALSO THE TUBES LOOK JUST LIKE THE OLD CLASSIC MULLARDS & AMPEREX’S FROM THE 1960’S & 1970’S AND PERFORM WELL AT 450 PLATE V.AND LOWER.

    I am the owner of funtasticvintronics.com – We use the Nesstone EL34/6CA7 tubes exclusively for our “standard tubes option” for our build to order Dynaco 70 amplifiers. We’ve been using these for about 2 years now and yet to have a single failure or even a complaint. Thanks Craig, these are great tubes.

    Bought these for a restoration on a Laney pro tube lead 100. They blow away the JJ 6AC7s that were in it. Really nice smooth warm Brit sound. Buying another set for my other Laney!

  29. Eric S. (verified owner)

    Liked these so much in my Laney AOR Pro Tube Lead 100 I ordered a set for my AOR 50 Series II.
    Just great tubes at a great price.

    The Nesstone EL34 is a beautiful sounding tube, no question! I’ve had several other power tubes in my Black Ice Audio 3502S (TS 6550, JJ E34L, EH 6CA7) and the Nesstone EL34 is simply the best I’ve heard yet. Warm tones like an old-school EL34 with perfect balance between treble, middle and bass. In fact, the bass really sings, very tight and controlled. I’ve literally just installed the Nesstone EL34s and if they sound this good after only an hour of playing time, I can’t imagine how good they will sound after a good 30 hour break-in. Also shipping was quick, even during the holiday, and the tubes were very well packed in nicer boxes than any other power tube I’ve purchased. Great product! Thank you!

    These EL34 tubes by NessTone are wonderful! All the positive reviews on the website as well as other internet posts convinced me to try these power tubes. They’ve greatly exceeded my expectations and sound better than other more expensive power tubes.

  34. Bryan (verified owner)

    Still breaking in the new tubes but sound great even fresh out of the box. Highly recommended A++

    These are an incredible value. I’m using those over the big bottle EH 6CA7….the highs are tough to beat, plus they have excellent mids and tight bass. What’s not to like!?

  37. James H. (verified owner)

    very nice sounding tube . Used in my dynaco st 70.

  38. Espen Skivik (verified owner)

    Excellent tubes! Perfectly matched and great sounding in my Marshall 1959HW. It took a while to get them to Norway, but I suppose covid causes the delay. Thanks Craig!

  39. Victor Sabula (verified owner)

    Used two of these EL34’s in a Marshall DSL20HR along with three NessTone 12AX7’s, and what a world of difference! The big difference is in the Classic Gain channel. With the stock tubes the Classic Gain channel was lifeless and what I would describe as raspy. With the NessTone tubes both the Classic Gain and Ultra Gain channels are three dimensional, full bodied with plenty of headroom. Also, far better separation and detail with very distinct and lush mids and almost acoustic quality to the sound. Thank you NessTone!

  40. Brian (verified owner)

    Very good quality tubes. These were a real surprise as I’m not familiar with the brand. But for $20 a pair, I decided to give them a try and am glad I did.

  41. RICK (verified owner)

    Very satisfied with my EL34 Matched tubes, fast shipping and great response from NessTone.

  42. Anonymous (verified owner)

    Sounds dynamic out of the box compared to the stock tube. Will have to burnt in only then will know the actual character.

    Great sounding tube! They are well balanced over the music spectrum and have a very nice midrange bloom , good bottom end and a sweet top end. Used the NessTone EL34 tubes in my Conrad Johnson Classic 120 amp. Would highly recommend giving them a try.

    This is the second quad of EL34’s I have purchased from NessTone. The first quad of EL34’s is still in my amp and sounds amazing. I love the sound of these tubes so much that I wanted another quad on hand for when the day comes to replace the first quad. NessTone EL34’s are the best sounding EL34’s anywhere!

  49. Paul (verified owner)

    These are great sounding tubes, regardless of the low price.

    I was looking for a suitable substitute for my original Mullard EL34 xf2’s. The price of these NessTone’s can’t be beat and they sound great in my Dynaco ST-70. Don’t let the low price fool you.

  53. Kyle (verified owner)

    Gave a 4 because they aren’t quite as great as the JJ KT77s I compared them with, but that’s 99% personal preference. Very mid-forward with strong presence, I just prefer a bit more bass from my XXX.

  54. Robert Peterson (verified owner)

    I just ordered my third (3) Quad of NessTone EL34’s. Nothing wrong with the other two, I’m just getting these while I can because I plan on listening to these tubes for the next 15 years. Having just retired after 40 years in the workforce, I want to be well stocked with these tubes. Honestly, these are the best power for my Black Ice Audio Fusion 3502s integrated amp.

  55. Robert Peterson (verified owner)

    What can I say? Apparently I am buying up the inventory of NessTone EL34 power tubes. This is my third quad. I figured that since the EL34-A’s are no longer being made, I’ll stock up while I can. Also helps that these are the best sounding EL34’s I’ve ever heard. The first quad I bought still sound great. I just finished breaking-in the second quad and will likely roll in the third quad shortly for a break-in as well. I would imagine they’ll sound as amazing as the first two quads. Gotta love NessTone tubes!!!

  56. Kyle (again) (verified owner)

    Already reviewed once, but want to change to 5-star. The lack of bass in my XXX with the Nesstone EL34’s was due to a preamp tube that was on the fritz. Now, I’d say they’re on level footing with the JJ KT77’s and are matched much more tightly. Ordering some 6L6GC’s and preamp tubes to test next.

  57. Robert J. (verified owner)

    These sound just like Mullard reissue EL34s. Great tone and great value. Time will tell how they hold up but you can’t go wrong with these.

    I’ve been running a pair of these in a Ceriatone Molecular 50W since I got the amp. (Sept/Oct ’21) With it in the Jose mod mode, I run the master volume pretty hard, and these tubes keep it together nicely for extended periods of time at high volume. They handle a variety of hot rod Marshall tones and work great with different speakers, from tight to loose. There’s plenty of bottom end, and the highs are clear and smooth. I withheld judgement until I had some decent amount of run time with them, and now I’m posting this review after ordering another couple of duets.

    First things first, all tubes arrived fully intact, there were no duds. I bough a Peters Pro Dual which got knocked around during shipping and the tubes had a rough time too. I ordered a matched quad to replace the old thrashed ones. I don’t have a frame of comparison in this particular amp but the NessTone tubes sound great to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another set if needed.

    Bought a matched quad for my Peavey JSX and am extremely impressed. Nice and gritty with pleasing highs, fat mids, and super punchy lows. Not the same depth and rumble as 6L6GC tubes, but way more tightness and thump.

  80. Nick W. (verified owner)

    I’ve run the NessTone EL34 in both HIFI and guitar amplifier applications and they punch way above their weight class in both.

  81. Stewart P. (verified owner)

    Great EL34 tubes that are tightly matched as advertised. Tubes are Shuguang foil getters that provide a full bodied , warm tone in my amp and cannot be beat in my opinion by any other current production EL34 tube, and I have used just about every one on the market.. Craig is the man to buy tubes from unquestionably. Thank you Craig, Stewart at Soundsilver Cable

  82. Jonathan Frigola (verified owner)

    Really enjoying these tubes. Switched to these from Ruby STR’s. A lil more presence which is nice as my guitars are a lil on the warmer side so it give it balances them perfectly. I always use a JJ5751 in the PI and at 40mV, they are an amazing combo.

    I was gifted a very nice boutique amp with no tubes or speaker. I had a speaker and a bunch of 12AX7’s, but have never had an amp that used EL34s. Tried a pair of these due to the excellent price, and the amp sounds great. Very quiet, too. So far, so good.

    Replaced with GE EL34/6CA7 for my JCM800 2203. NessTone EL34/6CA7 made my 2203 alive. I’m very happy with my purchase.

  93. Eric (verified owner)

    With only 10 hours on the pair of EL34’s so far, they are sounding great. They tested 87 and 93% for GM on my Amplitrex AT1000 tube tester. Hard to beat for the price!
