When you’ve had a chance to listen to it for a bit, please tell your thoughts on it with regard to the Tung-Sol!

I just measured it with a metric caliper. Bought that by mistake a while back 'cause us silly Americans only relate to inches.

They where of use after all.

Would that affect the sound?

Not sure. Perhaps someone here that knows stuff about tubes can help though?

Yes! Sounds better in my experience when pins are on the bottom.

I find them much quieter with pins up.

Please do tell what you think of them when you’ve had a listen. I’m especially interested in a Psvane vs new production Tung-Sol comparison

I have to write some words about my JJ 6SN7.

From the begining after the purchase I was not somewhat impressed and there was also some review on the internet, that it sounds bad on Schiit Freya 2 or something. But here is my thoughts after probably more than 100 hours with it. JJ 6SN7 sounds now just awesome!!! I don`t know if it sounds this good immediately or if it opens up after some burn. Today I put to Lyr3 russian stock tube to compare it, but what a bloat. JJ is absolutely on another level. Its spacious, the soundstage is way more bigger, it is crisp, detailed, spacious, it sounds sweet and there is absolutely awesome subbass with LCD-2C which is completely missing with russian stock tube. That slam is ridiculous. It hits strong, deep and I mean very deep, but detailed and refined. With JJ I have a feeling that music plays around me and I am somewhere inside. With russian stock it is like music is playing in smaller sphere.

I can highly recommend JJ 6SN7. For that price it is crazy good!

If this is like someone said bad tube, I really can not wait to try something like Psvane. Any recommendations for another tube which I should try?

I had originally written it in the Saga tube rolling thread. I gave the tube away and the new owner likes it in Lyr3. The whole episode made it clear to me that everyone hears different things. For example, my wife HATES the Yggdrassil. I am not going to tell anyone that I don't know well what they are going to like. I can only tell you what I like in combination with people who are close to me.
