JJ China???
Maybe this should be in the shady asylum.
Find a reputable dealer.

my and my buddie´s experiences say that in terms of sound/performance china ECCs are much better than their reputation and superior over modern russian preamp tubes.

Not sure why you answered my post with your findings.
My point was tbat if somebody is selling JJ labelled tubes that are made in China, then that seller should be in Shady.
Has nothing to do with whether Chinese tubes are any good or not.

your experiences are noted, but it now seems to matter what tube and what manufacturer/where. Lots of our audio gear is made in China but designed elsewhere.
I have some Chinese made 'Treasure' KT88's that are excellent but your post makes me wonder - what design did they copy/steal from? The 'Treasures' have a blackened bottle and cannot be viewed.
Early Chinese from the 80's-00's suck in longevity and sound but they seem to have 'magically' improved them lately and at the price point they are worth considering. That's what they want. Their efforts at cornering the markets have been successful in many things beside tubes.
In the corporate climate I came from, I learned too much about Chinese manipulations and now avoid anything Chinese which is quite difficult today. I apologize for my political leanings.
