5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes

Is anyone currently making a tube of this type that rivals the performance of the best NOS Mullard tubes? I'm surprised that Sophia, Psvane and others appear not to have offered this tube. Suggestions?

For $20 shipped, it's surprisely good. I'm going to try the Cryoset JJ next and see if any improvements with cryogenic.
