All the sovtek stuff in general sounds usable and sometimes even good, but on the whole there tubes always come in with less GM than the original build spec for the tube unless you get them from Ruby tubes and or Groovetubes.

That is just awesome, I had no idea what the red tubes were about. They're pretty cheap and easy enough to find on ebay. I can hear little difference in a 5C1 clone, maybe a wee touch grittier, dryer sounding. It's a particularly pretty red too :)
