Been a while since I listened to the Tung Sols, so I went into my 'stash' and see one of the reason I don't use them is that they were quite short lived (I loosely track hours). I've tried a couple of flavors of RCA (black plate and red-base(?)), standard base Sylvania, GE and a couple of flavors (green & yellow lettering) Sylvania coin-base. But, to my ears the coin-base beat them all, so I've stuck with them. To me, they are smoother, bottom to top, and maybe just a bit tipped up in the mid-bass, which works well for me. Also, they offer the best on female vocals to my ears. The Russian 6N8S that comes in the Saga isn't bad. YMMV.
