Are these the same thing? I mean the M ones, not the EL84/6BQ5-labeled standard ones. I already have a set of new Sovtek EL84M's in my amp. They're nice, and they seem marginally clearer when run loud than every other EL84 I've tried. But they still seem to have a very EL84-like EQ curve (albeit slightly on the dark side and not particularly fat), and everybody keeps recommending the old Russian 6P14P-EV's. Are they better? If so, what is better about them?
They seem cheap enough for NOS tubes to give them a try, but I'd like to know what you guys think about them first.
