How do Mullards/Telefunken compare to tungsol tubes? I'm thinking about getting telefunkens but I just feel that I can EQ after if a little bit of bass is missing. Depends on the mic too. Do you feel that the voice is more important than the tubes? Or are the NOS tubes really going to make a major difference?
