The Russian 6P3SE certainly aren't poor performers.

Those tubes not only sound like an RCA 6L6GC black plate in many ways,they also last a long time.

Now getting back to the 6L6 and 1614 metal tubes,they do have a sonic purity and uniqueness that is undeniable. Mcintosh obviously liked them but audio seems to thrive on the moment. I would say the metal tubes are much better than what their perception has been over the years.Lets be honest here.You and I both know that physical appearance plays a major role in how several people will see these tubes regardless of how they sound.
IMHO,they sound fabulous.I never did spec test them in an amplifier tho.
