Best current 845 Tubes


NOS is ridiculous to find, and if they aren't fakes, and aren't used up they get really expensive. So lets keep them out of the equation.

A few searches revealed a few flavors available. And some information that makes them all seem like the same tubes re-branded. So I'm looking for opinions.

Shuguang 845
Shuguang 845B
Shuguang 845C
Psvane 845-T
TJ Full Music 845
Sophia Electric 845
Create Audio 845
Taylor 845

I think TJ and Sophia are the same tube.

I've only had my 845 amp a bit over a year, and haven't heard that many different 845 tubes. My amp came with the basic Shuggies stock, and I also got a pair of the Psvanes with it. To me the Psvanes were better across the board, but I'm now using Shuguang 845B's, which sound better yet to me, a bit warmer, more depth & dimension to the sound.

I'd love to try the Create 845 tube, as my prior amp was a 300B, and as much as I liked the Black Treasure 300B's, I preferred the Create 300B tubes in that amp--better extension on both highs & lows, but still with a magical midrange.
