RE: 6SN7 current production queries

the EH 6SN7 is nothing to put money aside for! my lyric Ti 140 was delivered with those, but every other brand - vintage or not - was better.

actually i got very special sovjet (Foton plant) 6H8C built in the 60-ties with horizontal getter plate and invisble getter film (it is located in the glass bottom).
they sound gorgeous! i am afraid, even better than my linlai E 6SN7 but had cost only 30 bucks for 5 pieces including shipping from ukraine!

concerning that strange stamp on the bulbs ("B82n") the seller gave me this additional information:

"This designation means (Military industry, BOEH 82 IIPOM). This stamp was placed on early lamps. It says that the lamps are prepared for the maintenance of military equipment where high-quality parts are needed... ...These lamps are valued more than the later ones, where the content of precious metals was lower."
