  Yes and not worth it. Get some Tung Sol or Sylvania 6SN7 bad boys. RCA coin base tall ladder 6SN7 are very nice too.

THat's a shame to hear. I read a nice article about a fellow who tired Sophia Tubes against MANY NOS tubes, 
 
Also good to see there are Tung Sol Clear tops out there

The only Sophia Electric tubes I have and would recommend greatly is there KT88's and 12AX/U7 premium grade A tubes. The used 6SN7 I purchased off ebay from the original seller gave me the initial reaction of "Is that it?"

What about PSVANE tubes?
 
I have tried many great 12AT7 NOS tubes in my MKVIIIse: Brimar 6060 yellow T, Tesla E83CC, Tesla ECC83, GE 12AT7 and cheap RCA 12AT7... And I really love the PSVANE 12AT7-T! They are great rivals to the best NOS 12AT7 tubes I own (Brimars, Teslas) and surpase them in several areas (especially in details). I also use PSVANE 6CA7-T / EL34 tubes in my speaker amp and these are the best EL-34 I have ever owned...
 
However, I have never heard the PSVANE 6SN7s (because I do not own an amp for these) but would like to hear from someone who tried them.

Haven't heard the Psvane 6SN7 but there 12A**7 dual triode tubes are amongst the best money can buy for a fraction of what NOS vintage tubes ask for.
 
Since you have the MK VIIISE to try out 12AT7 tubes, buy a set of Mullard CV4024 and report back to me how they sound, I find them to provide a very very very nice low-end.

Keep in mind that these are basically hand selected Chinese tube packed and marketed for audiophiles.  The same tubes without the lipstick can be got from reputable tube dealers that can hand select low noise, low microphonics and balance tubes for a fraction of the cost.
