Test results are below on the new offerings from Sovtek They have the Electro Harmonix EF86 and the Tung Sol EF806. These tubes were identical in construction and specs. The only difference was the silk screening and the gold pins of the more pricy EF806 version. The more pricy EF806 was no more quiet than the EF86 version. The slightly lower AC plate current and TC in a Dr. Z Stingray amp of the EF806 was a bit more musical than the EF86 according to Sam Austin. Sam reported that the tubes were not quite as nice as an NOS tube but he said that if there were no NOS EF86 tubes available the EF806 would be a fine tube for him. Additional listening tests will be done and microphonic tests will be done as the four tubes we have get a bit of time on them
