They are great tubes and I've found them to be perfectly quiet. They have great soundstage, layering with a good weight... not thin sounding. A good pair of Mullard EL34 XF2's will out perform them. They take what the Psvane EL34PH do but take it further again. Great spatial detail and clarity. Finding a good pair can be tricky to find at times.
The last pair of XF2's I bought are really good but the ones before look like they've been pushed hard. Possibly a guitar amp. The Getter Flash was brown and burned away in places and the stain on the plate is exactly where a there is a small amount of red plating. I bought them before I new any better. So, if you see stains like the ones below... or, dark brown getter flash then I'd be tempted to look elsewhere!
Oh... and if you buy the Psvane EL34PH in a Quad, just remember to check both pairs. A while back I posted I had a problem with one pair that was sorted out but it would be a good idea to check all the tubes.
