Reviews for their 300b/2a3 mesh always come in as bottom tier, much worse than cheaper JJ 2a3/300b.
With that said, I've read rave reviews about their extremely expensive Royal Princess 300b. I might have to pick up the blue 6sn7 to try, you guys really seem to like it. I just never touched Sophia again after my earlier experiences with them.

The gold base 6SN7 and 300B/2A3 tubes were made by TJ/Full Music. The owner passed away and Psvane bought their tooling. I have used them with no issues but I did not get them from Sophia. I bought them from DIY-Hi Fi in Hong Kong.
I don't know who is manufacturing the blue Sophia tubes.
