Hi
I have just joined this forum. I have a pair of Cary ANNIVERSARY Mono blocks and I am thinking of trying the above tubes as the ones supplied are just a basic Chinese job and I would think I can do better. However I am not prepared to pay the sums required for RCA NOS. Would these Shuguang be good or would their 845c be better. I am thinking of ordering direct from SuperTNT. I am based in the U.K. Any advise on valves please.
Follow Ups:
I have ordered the 845M and Payment has gone through using mastercard via IPS.COM.but I have not had confirmation of the order on the TNT site or by auto-email from them,so I have emailed TNT with the order No. and they say they havent got it. My card issuer says payment is awaiting confirmation but if I dont get the goods to phone them and they then reclaim payment from IPS. Need I worry anyone had experience with this.

I am based in UK and have both the 845Bs and the new 845Ms from SuperTNT.The Ms are worth the extra investment especially if you can get one of SuperTNTs occasional special offer prices.
My experience of SuperTNT has been positive up to now - packaging is good and delivery by DHL speedy. If you go for the Chinese Postal Service option, it is slower and the tracking is pretty vague, but it is cheaper.
Thanks for the reply Dave. Was there any more to pay in way of tax duties etc. when you got the valves.Also is it easy to pay TNT on line.I think I will go for the Ms.

In both cases there was no extra to pay.When I have had to pay DHL etc. they send an invoice after the event.
My opinion would be to go for the 845M from SuperTNT. In my experience, these are noticabley better than the 845B's. If you want to research some opinions on these tubes, try checking out a recent thread:http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=set&n=42178&highlight=845m&r=&session=
Also, make sure to use the search function and check the Tubes and SET sections for 845M.
Thanks Rick I will study that thread

Will these be O.K. for Cary Anniversary mono blocks Rick. I am no electrical genius I am just into the Music and Hi Fi. Dont want to blow them up.

Ordered 845M payment went through but no confirmation of order I emailed TNT WITH THE ORDER nO and they say they havent got it. My card issuer says payment (mastercard) is awaiting authorisation via IPS.COM Need I worry,.(having a problem getting this thread to post)

I have tried several 845s in my 805AEs, and if you dont want to pay for NOS, those Super TNTs are the next best for the cost.
