We just got in a shipment of  6Ж32П (aka EF86) tubes. They came packed in a new kind of tube box I hadn't seen before. It does seem to bear a stern warning about its contents.

The Surgeon General recommends directly heated triodes...

Josh has volunteered to let us know whether the Marlboro or Camel branded tubes sound better.

I find Marlboro lights to be harsh and grainy while lacking the full bodied flavor of the reds.

Are those EF86's filtered or un-filtered?
