Shuguang 845B or Psvane 845 Hi-Fi series tubes

My amp is Mastersound 845. I've been using a pair of Shuguang 845B tubes. After 2 years (probably about 2000 hrs) one of them died. I don't see many Shuguang 845B on Ebay any more, they were quite good. There are some "new" constructions though ... Psvane 845 Hi-Fi series , about the same price as Shuguang 845B (note, these are not Psvane 845-T). How are the "new" Psvane 845 Hi-Fi in comparison to 845B?

Thanks

I'm not sure how the "new" 845 tubes compare to the Shuguangs, but thetubestore.com still has 845Bs if you decide to stick with those. They probably aren't as inexpensive as you found on ebay; however, as you metnion, they are getting tougher to find. I recently bought a spare pair of 845Cs because they are getting tough to find as well. Good luck!

You may want to try the Elrog ER845 from Germany; they are suppose to be the cat's meow.
