electro-harmonix vs svetlana tubes


I've seen the ads for electro-harmoicx 6L6 tubes allegedly better than RCA's (I strongly doubt that). I understand that they are Russian tubes. anyone have any experience with these as compared to the Svetlanas?

The performance, and sonics, of both tubes, will depend on the circuit, they are used in. To me, the Svetlana's, sound better, when the circuit is biased, on the high side. The Electro Harmonix, does not seem to like this. As with all tubes, the end sonics, will be influenced by the circuit, bias, and amount of current, that passes through the tube. In one amp, they may be heaven, and hell, in another.
