BAT (Balanced Audio Technology) used these extensively in their amps and preamps years ago. Don't know if they still do, but I remember an audio bud complaining back then that getting a tested, matched quad from BAT was $100. For Russian tubes, he whined.

I have found the next holy grail tube, better in every way to the 3x mica Foton's 6N3P except sonically. Your welcome.

I’ll let you guys know how it sounds and maybe even ship it out to one of you if interested to try it out. Low risk. Free shipping and cheap so why not.
I spend that daily for a couple cups of Starbucks.
Edit: I gotta get off this site or I’m going to go bankrupt. You’re an enabler TK! Lol

TK, you continue to earn my vote for nicest guy on the forum.
Funny thing is that the prices of US, European, and now even Russian NOS tubes are going bananas, but Chinese tubes remain close to free. I guess it's because nobody has discovered them yet.
I know all the talk about cheap Chinese tubes and nobody buys them. But????TK, you continue to earn my vote for nicest guy on the forum.

it could be good but I’m thinking its going to be Schiit.
Has anyone seriously tried them or just have fun trash talking them?

I have not tried any of the 6N3 variants. In fact, I haven't tried any Chinese tubes since a pair of power tubes nearly took out my amp, and could potentially have gestated a black hole if I hadn't intervened.
I did run through a number of them many years ago (6N11's, ECC82's, EL34's, 6550's, etc etc) and all I can say is they were cheap and not terrible. But they were easily outclassed by even inexpensive varieties of US and Euro NOS tubes at the time. I've taken a hard look at some of the currently manufactured tubes like the PSVane and Shuguang Treasures, but haven't had the courage to spring the hefty asking price for any of them...yet.

That's probably the very best way. May be difficult to put together a whole pair if you tried to match them electrically.
