Default Experience with Shuguang tubes

Recently I bought a new pair of Shuguang 2A3 tubes from an Ebay shop in
China. Arrived in good shape, thanks to careful handling of the post,
not because of decent packaging. Put them up for a test in the old AVO
mk IV to be sure they survived the bumpy ride. One measured at half the
original RCA specs, the other even at ten percent less.

Anyone with the same or different experience with these cheap Chinese
tubes? All together they don't come that cheap, compared to old USA
production which test normally well beyond rejection.

FWIW, the seller does not respond to my complaint. It might be because
of the language barrier, or he might know what he's selling.


Why would anyone buy something from a seller in China?


Of course they are no good.


Of course the seller won't respond. He's got your money.
