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.

Actually to be fair -- stands for EuroAudioTeam, made at the Tesla plant in the Czech Republic

Fatparrot - Why do you beleive that new tubes can not match purity, poercision and quality of NOS tubes. This seems to be completely counterintutive.

Seems like no one has tried these yet. I need to retube my BAT VKP10SE soon. Maybe I'll try a pair on the first input 6922 locations...if I do, I'll let you know. Thanks

Look at the thread "new production tubes for $225". I bought a pair and am extremely happy with my purchase, much better than any tubes I've ever used.

I also have the 12ax7's in my pre. They sound fantastic.
More people need to hear this tube.
