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 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.

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.Might interest you: http://pmcomponentsnos.co.uk/Golden-Dragon-E82CC-12AU7
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?
im senndig back my tungsols ecc82. warm sound. not for me. go for gold lion ,im read those bright sounding.

it is cheapest chuang tubes that all makers use in stock tubes....Might interest you: http://pmcomponentsnos.co.uk/Golden-Dragon-E82CC-12AU7

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.it is cheapest chuang tubes that all makers use in stock tubes....![]()
because i same tube with same pictures is installed as stock tubes in devices. china has only 3 tube factories. and those is one from cheapest . psvane making another good factory. tj full music making another factory. all other china tubes is from those factories with diferent logos

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.Has anyone tried the Australian made AWV 12AU7?

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.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 AMV tubes.

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

Not sure if you ever received an answer to this question. I use adapters for 6SN7 to 12AU7 with no issues. I have heard of folks doing the same for 12AU7 to 6SN7. As long as you find a reputable adapter there should be no issues.Anyone know is it possible to use adapter for my 12au7 to 6sn7?
