Your Saratov tubes are KT66HPs and they are good to 550v where the sinos are good to 450v. The Saratov was designed by aspen pitman and company and its made with groove tubes tooling in the saratov plant.
When Mike Matthews decided he wanted to make a version of the Tungsol kt66,they ceased production of the KT66HP and personally it looks almost identical to a clear bottle genelex other than the ring getters which are solid on the Saratovs.I asked Myles at Groove tubes if they would be making the kt66hp again and he said NO very abruptly like they were upset because that was a big seller for them.I was told a couple months ago they were in talks with shuguang or the remains of EI to possibly tool up to make that tube again..I hope they do as its a nice tube.
