I noticed Chinesium is not listed.

Russonium is a newer ingredient...since Russa relied on vacuum tube technology into the 1980's, they were well positioned when the market for tubes heated back up (pun intended).

paste from outside source-

Sovtek tubes came out at an advantageous time when USA, RTF and EI tubes all went away. So, Fender, Marshall and others wall switched to the Sovtek 5881 when they couldn't source the others anymore. It turned New Sensor a powerhouse. All Sovteks are Saratov tubes.


I did just read that a major US electronics co is planning a new tube factory in the US.

Bizarre to say the least.

Turns out the guy that created Sovtek, by selling surplus USSR tubes to the US and then using the Russian plants to make new ones is quite the character.
