Sid K Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi Everyone, I'm about to invest some cash into an tube amp. Currently debating which tube to buy the EML 45 or NOS 45. Has anyone heard these two types and how do they compare besides that the EML's are more expensive. Is it worth the extra money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use both globe NU-245 and mesh EML45. Entirely different critters. I love the EML but they are pricey. The odds of getting good alleged NOS 45 tubes is very hard. You might spend more collecting 45 NOS tubes till you get a good pair. These tubes are very old and even NOS might have issues. I like listening to both but I'd give the nod to EML I mean the build quality is superb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkane Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 That's a big 45! I also use 45's and out of the 6 tubes I have purchased off e-bay, all run fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
