That said, I recently bought a "NOS Mullard" 12AT7. It came in the aforementioned white box, and the tube itself is labeled "Mullard/made in Great Britain" (yeah, I know you can screen anything you want on a tube.) Whatever it is, it's better than my EH or UOS GE 12AT7. Wasn't particularly pricey, either. I'd buy another.
