I think I got them at a reliable source. I bought them from Greg Beron at United Home Audio. Greg has a lot of experience with Jolida products so I thought he would be a good resource when upgrading my Jolida's tubes.

Greg said he has collected quite a variety of the best tubes that were ever made. He listened to me when I described the music I like and what type of sound detail I wanted. He did a great job matching me up with the right tubes. When he sold them to me he only mentioned they were the long plate version. He did not mention they had the red tips. I just noticed the red tips as I installed them.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Enjoy~
