Eli, the 5AR4/GZ34 Tung-Sol and Genalex reissue tubes are FAR better. The need to hunt down and pay crazy prices for old stock is no longer needed IMHO. If you've got a 5AR4 equipped preamp or some other moderate voltage/current draw device then the Sovtek or Shuguang is fine. But I've put a bunch of U77 Genalex and 5AR4 Tung-Sols out (some into tough duty!) and they have been flawless.To repeat - the new reissues are a MAJOR step up as compared to the Sovtek/Chinese tubes.
I don't have much experience with the EH 6CA4/EZ81 since I still have good stock of RFT on hand. But JJ?? Look at the track record and you understand why I shy away from the vast majority of their stuff.
Edited to correct poor grammar.
