I really like the Russian 6p3s-e. Some say that it is the same as the Sovtek 5881. They look the same, sure don't sound the same. Unfortunately Jim McShane is out of stock, so you'll probably have to get them on epay. I'd recommend getting some pre-Gorbachev era tubes if you can. Let them break in before making judgment.
Here's a link to some that show a date of April 75. If that's the date of manufacture of the actual tubes for sale, they should be great. I bought some years ago from the same factory that were mid '70s vintage, and they were really nice. Wish I would have bought a box of a 100 back then, they were really cheap. BTW, no affiliation with the seller.
