If you can find another 6AS7 version of Chinese tubes let us all know...
Hi Jeb Listens,
Thank you for your thoughtful and balanced summary. There is some merit to what Liu Junyuan states, but on the other hand, if we don't let other people know about great tubes, how will we find out? Not everybody can try out a lot of stuff, and especially not the expensive ones.
On the other hand, if we can find inexpensive tubes that sound great, as long as they are available in larger quantities, the price is not going to change much. Only the very rare ones will go up in price if there is a sudden demand.
The other part of the equation is the synergy between different tubes. It may be possible that different amps react differently to different combinations.
As far as I'm aware Sovtek are the only modern production tubes in this family. Is that correct?
I'm not aware of any current production. The Sovteks were relabelled Svetlanas.
I think those shuguang are 80s era tubes, though there are some other current production models
