Highly recommend JJ El34 6CA7 gold pins. Stuck a pair of those suckers in my rockerverb, amazing.

ive read a lot of positive reviews/ recommendations for the shuguangs. note: i havent used them before, just been researching them for a possible amp build. lots of others like the gold lions, but i think the "chinese ones" get mentioned a lot more.

Tung-Sol EL34Bs, they were great in my MkV. Order from a site like thetubestore.com or tube depot, and let them know what kind of amp they're going in. They'll make sure to select tubes that will be in the correct bias range for your Mesa

The Mesa Siemens' are fantastic. But the standard Mesa tubes are good too. I also use the Winged C/S.E.D. EL34s, but they are also really expensive, IF you can find them.

Just be sure to tell your tube vendor that you want Mesa spec tubes; if you choose Mesa tubes, they'll drop right in.

The Mesa str447 is a good place to start. I believe they are selected EH rebrands.
