I have been reading elsewhere about this South Korean tube manufacture.   https://www.straditube.com/

 

Mostly I use NOS tubes with a couple of exceptions where I am curious.  This is one of those occasions and will be ordering a 5U4 from them soon to try in a DAC  and will keep you posted.

 

They seem to have an interesting array of products (including some 4V options) and are adding others soon  a 45 and a 274B. 

 

 New production tubes can get mixed reviews  for both cost and how they sound but as I am wanting to add  either 300b or 2A3 (Eb) amplifier to my system this year I am even more curious. 

 

Anyone ?

Well, they are expensive, so they better be good.   I have only ventured into this arena with Psvane, and they have been good.    I will follow along to see who has tried Stradi.

me too, keen to hear from 1st hand experience with these since NOS is out of my price range. I also have very positive experience with PSvane Horizon series, I purchased directly from manufacture instead of Alix or Amazon. Seems like they really up the ante with quality control with this series.

 

Edit: Stadi has a interesting line up of tubes

Absolutely.

It depend on the tubes you are needing I think.  Plenty of good NOS tubes out there but perhaps fewer Holy Grail versions in good shape, and increasing in price of course.

 

The cost of  production tubes is not insignificant and will often exceed NOS.  Overall  IMO the vintage items are going to be the benchmark in performance.  What interested me in Stradi is their choice of tubes beyond the more typical and the corresponding price point.  I might need to look around more at current production tubes  to compare? 

 

But as  has been said  interesting line up.  How do they sound!?   Will have to wait and see.

It also depends on what they will be like to deal with.   Not being sold on Ali or Amazon (that I can see), but Psvane are.

Yes  buying direct is attractive. 

My understanding is they  have eco packaging and are quick to respond 🙂

Will find out shortly.
