The Shuguang factory started producing the Chinese branded tubes again last month. Anyone had a chance to compare them with the originals?
Please do!I just received 8 of them Friday from the tube store, I'm gonna throw them in my EVH Stealth later on tonight to replace the NOS Shuguangs I have in there now to preserve them and report back.

Thanks for the heads up , I ordered a few . The Chinese tubes sounds great in my Splawn , I might eventually try them in the SoldanoI just received 8 of them Friday from the tube store, I'm gonna throw them in my EVH Stealth later on tonight to replace the NOS Shuguangs I have in there now to preserve them and report back.
Great to hear, I just ordered a few. The Ruby 12ax7a5 HG+ to be exact. Great tube for V1, but it’s just a special selected Chinese 12ax7.I bought 20 of them to test on a few amps and they sound like I remember them. Very distinct hi end that adds sizzle on certain amps. Great for hi gain. Very happy they’re back![]()
Where did you order these from ?Great to hear, I just ordered a few. The Ruby 12ax7a5 HG+ to be exact. Great tube for V1, but it’s just a special selected Chinese 12ax7.
Direct from Ruby tubes:Where did you order these from ?
The new Shuguangs sound warmer, compared to the old square foil getters. I re-tubed my JP-2C with them. At $16 a tube, they're priced right.How do these compare to the square foil getter 12ax7s from the 80's/90's?
