I agree with Joman...the Matsushita's are not the Siemens, but are great sounding and a real sleeper of a tube. I would definitely try this tube if $$ is an issue for the Siemens or Amperex tubes.
Try Vintage Tube Services. Andy knows more about selecting tubes than most anyone.Try the used tubes (Perfect Picks)
to keep cost down. Only guy I use, very honest
I have the Matsushita's 6dj8's and Tung Sol 5881's. I really like the sound of my VK5i with these tubes. Even changing the 5881's was noticeable over the stockers.

I also have Herbies Halo's and placed them almost 1/2 way down each 6dj8 tube.
