I hear you but that is just a small example of vintage tubes. Again in the end if your happy with the new production Tung Sols that's all that counts.
today got info, that psvane and tj full music is same factory tubes. dont know how sounds and what part of sound gain , but tj full music gains bass and mids.psvane i hear more pastel sound.

i think no. there is only few factories in the world producing tubes. so,you sent is made in china.maybe very similar to chuangun tubes factory.

psvane art-s forwards mids,less highs and sounds more pleasant overall. if you like pleasant,more midrange sounding tubes,ART are the best choice

does any tried JJ electronics tubes? as read all pream tubes is gain bass,mids or highs. and thats all. what from ecc82 tubes has lowest gain?

it is cheapest chuang tubes that all makers use in stock tubes....:D
Source? I admit I haven't tried them, but I'm tempted to. If what my poking around has turned up is correct, they've been in production since at least the 90's. Designed by people who made tubes for Mullard, and other tube manufacturers. Their production is supervised, and subject to quality controls beyond the usual Chinese tube.

Has anyone tried the Australian made AWV 12AU7?
Last thing I need are more 12AU7 tubes but I’ve been impressed with the other AWV tubes I have.
That's one I wasn't aware of. I have not heard of AWV in general till I read your post. Thanks for mentioning them, I'm going to be looking out for AWV tubes.

I have a 5U4G that sounds very refined, a few 6SN7 that are incredibly quiet, and a 12AX7 that I’m still trying to wrap my head around. A lot of times they are labeled Radiotron.

I have a pair of 1950s AWV Super Radiotron on the way. Should be made with RCA tooling. Looks like RCA long grey plates construction.
Since I know they exist now, I need to try them 😜

I like the philips holand ecc 82. I have two pairs that sound relly diferent, from 59' it is warmer than the ecc82 miniwatt from 68'. They look the same but are different things.
