Regarding Japanese tubes ... My first DIY project began with a ChannelMaster stereo integrated I bought for peanuts at Goodwill. The tubes inside were all ChannelMaster branded and include EL84, 12AX7, and 5AR4. I found that they all sounded very nice indeed in a variety of gear.
Now after years of being around tubes and related ephemora, I found out that those tubes were likely made by Matsushita in Japan. Well, it turns out that the factory was equipped with gear from the European Philip/Amperex factories. (Which makes sense, since Philips owned Matsushita at the time). So we're basically talking about Bugle Boy design and quality tubes.
