CHINESE tubes?


IMO Chinese made tubes have very poor quality, sound wise which they are sold at very low price and somebody trying to promote those tubes by hyping them that they are the best?give me break.

Chinese tubes are quite satisfying in my opinion. Not only more affordable, but also reliable and sonically good. 
I'm using the KT88 from Shuguang and compared to other brands that I tried on the same amplifier, the results (sonically) are not much different - especially when looking at the price difference. 
On other hand, I opted to swap the pre-amplification valves (12AU7 and 12AX7) from Shuguang to Genalex Gold Lion. Not because the Chinese ones were bad, but I truly heard a nice improvement in sound quality for a small amount of money.
