Sophia Electricâ„¢ Premium 6SN7/6SL7 Tubes - you guys see this?

Very interesting! That doesn't look like any 6SN7 I have ever seen - the internals don't look like any ECC32 or CV181 I have seen either, although it does have ST-shaped glass like a ECC32 and seems to be about the same style.

I wonder if those are also Shuguang-made, an off-shoot of the new (and excellent) Shuguang Treasure CV181? They do say the specs are 6SN7, not ECC32, though.

$100 each, though, puts it in competition with the very best 6SN7's. You can get Sylvania, Raytheon, and Tung-Sol 6SN7WGT's for less than $100 each, often less than $100/pair, and so these would have to be VERY good tubes to be worth the money for the "A Grade" versions.

Anyone tried a pair???? Seem to be pretty new...
