I think one has to be careful if buying the Chinese copies of valves
around at the current time, as quality control is almost non existent,
though some Russian ones are made a lot better I'm told.



** Why refer to them as " Chinese copies of valves " ??

My info is that the Chinese purchased valve making equipment ( including
dies and materials) from Europe when factories there closed in the 1980s
and transported it to China.

This is so they could easily start making popular audio valves like
EL34s, 6L6s and 12AX7s - for which there were no equivalent Chinese
types in production at the time.



That assumes that all that is required to make good tubes is the
equipment.


** There is no such assumption within or behind my post
