VTV was/is notorious for publishing articles and hyping up tubes that they would then turnaround and sell at stupid prices after the tube horders bought the bait hook line and sinker. I think they chatted up some stupid raytheon 12AX7 or something like that and wanted to sell it for crazy prices. I already had some I had paid $5.00 for a few weeks earlier. Anything that comes out of there goes in one ear and out the other. The Sovtek 6SN7 is such a low hurdle to jump over that the comparison is meaningless unless you have no experience with NOS tubes. Sort of like comparing a Sovtek 300B to a WE or TJ 300B. Your comparison of Webster / hammond transformers used for a SE amp is more interesting than the tube comparison.
