I wonder if there is a new production 7189?

As I've posted previously, Jim wasn't going to sell them to me when I told him they were going to be used in a Dynaco SCA-35.
I emailed Jim a link to Dave Gillespie's EFB article for the SCA-35, one of the benefits of which is the reduction the current draw for each output tube from 35mA to 27mA. I explained to Jim that I was in the process of doing the mod to my SCA-35.
His reply was, "You can trust anything Dave Gillespie has to say", and sold me a matched quad. I've been very happy with the sound, and have experienced zero issues with the tubes.

The 6П14П-EB (6p14p-ev), AKA EL84M, is a genuine 7189 equivalent. New Sensor "inherited" a winner and has kept on producing it.
Under no circumstances, should a reissue N709 be subjected to any sort of abuse. It's a good sounding variant, but it MUST be used according to EL84/6BQ5 restrictions. Notice what Jim McShane says about voiding the warranty on his site.
