Olsher on 6SN7s

Recent review in TAS of tube amp by the estimable Dick Olsher: To improve its sound, he swaps out the supplied 6SN7 drivers for NOS Sylvanias or some such venerated antiques, and reports that he dislikes all the Chinese and Russian 6SN7s. Since I have just acquired four Russian Tung Sol drivers from Jim McShane at his recommendation, and they sound just fine to my ears in my splendid VAC Phi 300i, I wonder whether Olsher has actually heard them. Word is that Tung Sols have improved recently, or is this just wishful thinking?
