My amp which uses 4 Billington Gold 845 tubes, is in need of a tube replacement. As much as I would love to buy 4 KR Audio or Cetron 845's I cannot afford the $400 per tube asking price. Also the thought of spending $1600 every 2-3 years is't too appealing either. Of course if someone can direct me to a place where I can buy these tubes at reasonable prices, I'd love to hear from you as well. My only other option is to use the new 845B or 845M being made in China.

I'd like to know if anyone here has used either the 845B or 845M. Better yet has anyone here used both? What I'd like is a brief description of either the 845B or 845M from someone who has or is still using them. What are the pluses and minuses of these tubes? And if there's someone who tried both, which one do you prefer and why?

Thanks, thetubeguy1954 (Tom Scata)
