Carl B.	Re: To Sovtek or not to Sovetek? 6V6 is the question! Hope I'm getting your question correct. If so, I'm pretty sure the "EH" refers (of all things) to "Electro-Harmonix." I was taking a peek at a Sovtek/New Sensor advert featuring a letter from a Vacuum Tube Valley staffer who reviewed some of the "EL34EH" Sovteks (which he gave some very favorable comments to, by the way). There in the bottom was that byzantine/psychadelic Electro-Harmonix "lion" logo (at least I think that's what that log is supposed to be ...). And there was something about Electro-Harmonix in the text there, too. Maybe Sovtek is trying to differentiate a "high-class, high reliability" line for the EH label. Strange choice for a label, but what the heck. - Carl B.
