I really like these tubes but they're very hard to find!

and they sell for $55 each here in oz! fuk that!

Does anyone know what a Mesa 12AX7-A Chinese tube actually is or know of a cheap place to get them?

If it has a round "getter" at the top it is a 9th generation Chinese that Mesa "selected", "tested" and rebranded.
