Saki,I purchased some from Grant and fleabay and have had zero issues. BTW, there is a sonic difference between the original and MKII tubes. Yes, some NOS are *better* but impossible to find. Personally, in my rig, I prefer the Psvanes 12AX7's over NOS Mullard or Tungsrams.
These are the first edition in the red box:

The MKII tubes are in white boxes. They are definitely NOT run of the mill Shuguang tubes.

Thanks a lot guys , sure do appreciate your take on the Psvanes .
I have some NOS that I like very much , along with backups .
I was interested in maybe finding something as good or better than my
7316's .
I am quite familiar with the Psvane stuff from Grant Fidelity as I use their Black Treasure 6CA7's and love them .

The 7316 may be the best in your amp.
"The 7316 may be the best in your amp."
The 7316s may be the best in any amp!
I have to agree with you the 7316 is IMO the best in any amp. When I discovered the 7316 it was a selected computer tube. Most of the tubes I could find with 7316 on them were cobranded with H/P IBM etc. As I collected more I found some pure breds.
Now I see people calling anything they want a 7316. I feel secure knowing that only Amperex made them and that the code on the glass tells you Heerlen and the general date.
Sometimes I want to make a big deal about the mis use of the tube type.

Blanket statements serve no purpose. The real 7316 is a nice tube but not in all applications.

Yes those responses are the most desirable but , unfortunately , also the most difficult to obtain .
Thank you to those who took the time to respond .
