I find it interesting in that both the new production "Tung-sol" and the "Genalex Gold Lion" tubes are made in the same Russia factory, generally sell for around $5 difference, yet they are very different tubes.
For one thing the T-S run at a heater current of 0.9A while the GL run at 1.27A.
The Tung-sols are much more like a big bottle 6L6GC. It can be run in 6L6GC amps where the GL could overdraw the power transformer in such an amp (but not an Inspire amp).
Sometimes these various New Sensor tubes are near identical across brands.
