Chinese 6N13P tubes

OTL Asylum

OTL, Output Transformerless Amplifier User Group.

I've decided to test a set of these in my M60s.
A single tube failed at power up (I had the same thing happen with the Sovtek 6AS7s when I first received my amps as second owner three years ago).
I bought two extra tubes with this possibility in mind and, with failed tube replaced, all is well.
I must say that, after about 25 listening hours, I actually like the sound a bit better than with Svetlana 6H13Cs that I'd been running. A tad more smoothness and instrument/voice localization. My expectation was for, at best, equivalence with the old Soviet tubes so this is a pleasant surprise. It may be that the Svets were well-used before I received them and I'm hearing the differences from a fresh set. No matter, the bottom line is that the Chinese tubes, at this point, are definitely keepers.
Just wanted to let folks know my initial impressions...
