The case says "Made by NFJ & FX Audio". Probably North Flat Japan. It looks much like the NFJ Tube-01J, which according to this: http://nfjapan.com/newsrelease/tube01j.pdf is priced at 4,480 yen (equivalent to about $28).

[Edit] - I misread your post and thought this is what was being sold for $60k! So your price of $35 was right on - probably included shipping :-) Some people swear by a good buffer stage to help match impedances - maybe that's why you say it sounds better than the passives you've tried.
