No, I have not sent samples out to metallurgists for testing. I am, however, vaguely aware of how Mr. Matthews of New Sensor fame conducts business. He is the same fella that purchased the Svetlana name to re-brand his Sovtec tubes. The Tung-Sols are more than likely produced on the same lines by the same people using different shapes of the same materials, albeit with a different brand. Brand is hugely powerful, even in vacuum tubes. His Tung-Sol 6550 are made to appear like old Tung-Sols not to be like old Tung-Sols. That is pretty much my sense with the 6SN7.Can you hear vastly improved sonics over the EH 6SN7? I can not.
If you have information to the contrary, I am all ears.
