I don't recognize the 6080 number. I was referring to these GE JAN 6AS7GA tubes at Parts Express. I had about 20% infant mortality (which Parts Express replaced, but even with a 20% hit the effective price is still comparable to the Sino tubes).

Any 'A' variant will be unreliable!
Good to know Ralph. Thanks!
The 8 that made it through burn in continue to work well, but I'll stick to Chinese or Russian tubes going forward.
Sorry but I can't offer anything useful on NOS 6AS7s as I have no personal experience with them. I've stuck to Sovteks all these years except for a brief fling with the Chinese 6N31 variant, which proved to be a bad move.

I don't remember that. Why was it a bad move?

High failure rate and short life span...pretty much in line with all of the Chinese tubes I've tried whether driver or power.
