Anyone compare these two yet? From web site, the Psvane "black bottle T-series is a MKII version of the original Shuguang Treasure series." The Psvane are slightly more expensive than the Black Treasures (for "Grade A"). Comparisons? Impressions of the Psvane black bottles?

I have not heard the new Psvane CV-181, but I do use the black treasures and they are great tubes.  On the contrary, I've been greatly dissapointed by the Psvane 845 and 12au7 tubes...  have not met a Psvane I like yet...

The 300B black treasures are very nice as well and I have a quad of black treasure el34s in route to me...  Psvanes...   not so much, imo.

I have both a pair of the 6CA7 in a triode connected SE, and luv 'em, and also a quad of the Psvane EL84 and pair of 12AT7 in Tubelab SimplePP (pentode), and quite like them more than the previous JJs / NOS Sylvanias - more inner detail and texture and certainly more "macro" . While I've had several sets of "well used"  Mullards, etc of these types over the years, the Psvanes are the most exotic of these types I've owned.   What is it you  don't like about them?

agreed on the Pavane 12AT7s, I use them with Black Treasure KT88s in my amps and they are a force to be reckoned with.

Are y'all talking about black bottle Psvane tubes? Or clear glass?
