Anyone heard or purchesed the new EAT tubes?

I saw an ad for thse ultra expensive current production tubes from Europe that Music Directs claims beat any and all NOS tubes (yes, we've all heard this before). I currently use Telefunken Cca's in my line stage and love them but they are impossible to find anymore. Since these EAT tubes are as much as the Telefunkens used to go for, I'd like to see if anyone has any experience with these EAT tubes at all or vis a vis Teles or Seimens (or your reference 6DJ8, 6922 derivative). Here is a link to the ad.

Yeah, right! $450 for an UNMATCHED pair!!! Buy some NOS tubes from Andy at Vintage Tube Services [doubt he'll have Telefunken 6922's], and save yourself some money!

It is impossible for a modern production tube to match the quality control, chemical purity [anodes], precession grid windings & terminations, and the hard vacuum of NOS tubes.
