 I saw the following different descriptions. Are these tube models the same or different? These were all made in 1974, 1975.

1. 6N23P Reflector SWGP
2. 6N23P Reflector SILVER SHIELD SWGP
3. 6N23P Reflector Holy Grail SILVER SHIELD SWGP

Thanks

 They are the same tube, but have certain internal construction differences that people have apparently associated with better/worse (YMMV).

I was never a fan of Reflektor anyway. Voskhod was my Ruskie 6922 of choice, but that was a long time ago.

 I figured out what is SWGP, what is silver shield and what is grey shield. But I still don't know what Holy Grail mean for this tube.

 Holly Grail is just a term used to say its the very best,most desirable.

 I got 4 Reflector 6N23Ps from mail today. They are SWGP and grey shield. Definitely not Holy Grail as they were manufactured in 1974.

 The better sounding 6N23P-EVs were manufactured in the 70s.
I use these with my Audible Illusions Pre amp.
They hold up well there compare to other brands.
I also bought a bunch from the 90s.

They are OK, but don't sound as good. I like the rockets best in this preamp.
