Re: Russian 6SN7s

I think people realize that "popular seller" will sell what he can get his hands on, and then try to differentiate from other dealers and justify high price by claiming testing with "rigorous methods".

You can get 1950's Sylvania 6SN7GTB, RCA 6SN7GTB, and GE 6SN7GTB - none of which are top NOS, but all of which are hugely superior to ANY Russian 6SN7 - for $30 to $40 on Ebay, and they will be better in every case, even without some "rigorous testing".

Go for the NOS.
