Sophia KT88 vs. Psvane KT88


I might be a tad premature here but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these new Sophia tubes. I only found out about them a few days ago. I did contact the company and was told they do have a limited supply of KT88's. They said this is a new product for them. They quoted me a price of $400.00/pr. Seems quite steep for new production tubes. The Psvane product is less expensive. Any info you have on personal experience with the Sophia tubes, where they are made, how they compare to the Psvane products etc. would be helpful.

Sophia Electric design and refine each new tube model before put into production. Only the best of the production would qualify for Sophia Electric's high standard.

Those think they could just get tubes from another channel with the same quality of Sophia Electric, they would get burned soon or later."

I think it worth every penny for Sophia Electric tubes. The Chinese factory quality control was not there nor sound like there is. If the factory wish to sell every pair made, and with a small discount to the Sophia Electric's premium price, will you(the US audiophile) buy it?
