In search for 805 tubes other than Chinese made

Anyone knows where to get a nice pair of 805 tubes (less than say $800)? It seems that Shuguang/PSvanes 805 tubes are the only brand I can find. I'm not against them but wonder if other options are available. I only could find a single RCA 805 tube but I need a matched pair.

These are Psvane offered by Grant Fidelity with electrode on top.

Now I remember why I didn't look further for TJ, my SET amp requires the 805 with electrode on top of the tube. TJ doesn't make them.

Thank you. I was looking at them too wonder if they are better or not. I'll search for the review.

Unfortunately they are the largest manufacturer of most tubes and TJ Full Music 805 are suppose to sound even better/more dynamic than the tubes you mentioned.
