Default 211 tube recommendations

I have a SET amp with two of the Shuguang 211's installed. There seems to be some different choices of 211's available now like the Psvane, Full Music, GE Electric NOS and others, and many of them are quite expensive. Has anyone any recommendations for a good value buy of these or other brands of 211's?

Anyone checked out the Elrog tubes?

Here is a review:

6moons industry features: Elrog ER 845

They seem to have started production for the Hifi market quite recently, and some amp manufacturers like Voxativ are using their tubes. Some of the workers have experience from working at Telefunken some years back. Elrog ER845 Tubes - thetubeguy1954 - SET Asylum[/url]

I'm not a 211 user but these from KR Audio look interesting, if you can get past the price that is. They run about 1200.00 USD a pair.





Here's a cool video of the manufacturing process.

I have been looking at those KR Audios as well. Some real craftsmanship going on there. I have for now ordered some GE NOS tubes, and might go for the Elrog's later.
