Yep. With the k-501 I am torn between the Mullard 8161 (large shield) and the Russian Voshod 6ZH1P-EV.
The Russians give the k-501s a very nice weight and heft and increases the bass a tad.
The Mullards have superior instrument separation and spaciousness. The midrange is also sweeter than the Russians.
Which one I choose day in and day out depends on my mood so I say get both.
