BAT NOS Super Tubes

Has anyone with BAT equipment compared the 6H30-S BAT NOS Super Tubes to the standard 6H30-N new production tubes? The BAT NOS tubes cost $300 (these tubes are no longer made hence the price) a pop, maybe more now, and I am wondering how these tubes effect sound in comparison to the standard 6H30 production tubes. Thanks

I just wanted to add that in my experience I've found the 6H30DR's contribution to the sound is much more pronounced in the BAT preamp(s) then in their amps.

Madfloyd, those are the ones. Elusive Disc is 20% less on the EAT tube dampers. Not sure if Musicdirect will match the price for a good quantity.

Thanks, Rtn1, I just ordered 8 of them (to start) from Elusive Disc. Btw, I received my NOS tubes today (from Eugene).
