[QUOTE="Nidri, post: 814998, member: 1342"] According to Upscale Audio*: "There are two types of 6H30 tubes currently being produced. The Sovtek brand which have the chrome pins (listed here), and the Electro Harmonix Gold pin. They are the same tube from the same factory." I've had a CD Player with the Sovteks before and they sounded just fine. Supposedly the EH's are a little better, but I doubt it. If you don't come right locally: http://www.thetubestore.com/Tubes/6H30-Tube-Types/Sovtek-6H30PI http://www.thetubestore.com/Tubes/6H30-Tube-Types/Electro-Harmonix-6H30Pi-Gold The only 6H30 "upgrade" tube I know of is the VERY expensive NOS Reflector DR: http://www.thetubestore.com/Tubes/6H30-Tube-Types/Russian-6H30P-DR More than I would ever pay for a valve, but some Ayon users swear by them. Who knows. * https://www.upscaleaudio.com/products/russian-6h30pi [/QUOTE]
