French tubes have a very unique sound signature and invoke love\hate relationship. Mazda & Cifte are the same tubes - Cifte was produced by Mazda for military (have both of them - they sound the same). French tubes in general have very transparent sound in incredible sparkle on the top - it's like a good champagne (great depth, fantastic sparkle and superb liveliness) - I found them to be incredible in live show type presentation, they communicate the atmosphere of the show very well. Haven't tried RTC, so can't comment.

Hi nick-seattle, Thanks for adding insight into this topic - as I was trying to read more about the 6 or 7 factories in France that produce tubes. It's nice to know that Mazda/Cifte are both one of the same, as I'd have been purchasing tubes from both brands - not knowing any better. I'm still trying to get a feel for where R/T Radiotechnique based tubes rate among these versions?, as I was told that their factory only produced so - so sounding tubes. Have a great Holiday and thanks again. Best wishes, Oscar
