Tell me it isn't true! The Chinese tubes are *better* than their Western counterparts?? Not only better, but they're the only ones actually usable? NOW what am I gonna do??? :)
Thanks for your input Ralph!

But if you plan to buy in high quantities (we buy 100 at a time) its not worth it to get the Russians- too many are simply no good.
I would not say that the regular Chinese are better than American NOS, but the are (mostly) better than the Russians...
As mentioned earlier, the NOS Russian 6SN7s from the 70s and earlier are quite good and should not be confused with modern production.
Also, we've been getting really good comments on the Psvane, Sophia and TJ Music tubes.
That's good info. I have an aversion to Chinese products, so this might be sufficient reason to design with the 12V NOS tubes I've been hoarding. They require an additional filament transformer in most power amp designs (the outputs need 6V), but it's worth it if the Russian reissues are problematic. Thanks again!
