Just paid for a matched pair of ShuGuang Treasuer CV181-Z and it will be shipped the next day. Hope the performance will justify the price paid.

I was looking at the standard matched pair but was a sucker for "PREMIUM"

Man I bought some cheapo NOS 6N1P's and popped them in my WA3+ and man they have more power and gain over my Bugle Boys!! Volume is a little more than 1/8 the way up and it's loud on my T1's! They also sound pretty good.
 
You guys should try them!!

love the 6n1p. it's as good and better than most 6dj8/6922 variants for fraction of the price.
the 6n2p has even higher mu/gain and sq is just as good. another russian dual triode that's
great, imo, is the 6n6p. it has the lowest gain of the three but very addictive sound presentation.

Where did you purchase them from? I was looking to get them from grant fidelity, but the tube shop implies that grant fidelity came up with the entire premium A/premium B designation on their own. For example, the representative from the tube shop stated he went to the shuguang manufacturer in china and they confirmed that they did not classify their treasure tubes in such a way.

The Premium is almost half price compare to Grant Fidelity, so I go for the premium version.  At lease the box is worth $60...

Are you serious that paper box would cost $60 or you just want to make yourself feel better for the cost of the Treasure Premium?

 
Anyway, enjoy your new toys and share with us how it sound.

Mine came as a matched pair (not premium) but did come with a very nice presentation box, not that they will ever get put back in there

It is a presentation box, but you know Ii just try to convince myself it is worth the money over the regular one.  I will never able to tell the difference...

Take it outter here, I don't need this..  J/K.  Ok, I will just go get a beer now.  Where did you get yours from?

Speaking of tubes, my matched pairs of the RCA Black Plate 6AS7G and Tungsol 7236's just arrived.  Somehow I got lucky and both matched out to be nearly perfect.  I have the 6AS7G's warming up right now with some Rush

£100 delivered from 'PMComponents' on e-bay..... I think £100 was quite good in comparison to some sellers and the box is a nice touch

It is a very good price, they don't have it anymore.   You got a good deal.
