Another valve user in the area... What sort of amp and speakers are you using ?
I have heard most types of 2a3's they usually are a good valve, krs are about the best moden ones I've heard
The old monoplates are the business but are very expensive.. but thats only if the amp and speakers are up it

Thanx for the comments!
I've also heard that the PSVANE 2A3C are better than TJ/Full Music/Sophia & EML?
