For my Fender amps...

Are the Svetlana Winged C 6L6's...the originals from the St. Petersburg plant...worth the extra money, about $100 a tube or will I hear much difference with a quad of Ruby 6L6GCMSTR tubes at about $20 or less a tube?

Thanks,
RB3988

I have 1 pair of those tubes I pay 1/3 of the price 10 year ago .Brand new, not for sale

Now I'll alway go for JJ's tubes 6L6GC $20 each

This Ruby tube is a re-labeled Sino, Chinese and Shuguang

The Winged C Svetlana's were very good tubes but no way would I pay black-plate RCA prices for them. JJ or Electroharmonix will get the job done unless you absolutely need the STR's which, in that case, I'd recommend the Tung-Sol's.
