Has anyone tried these tubes out before?

My understanding these tubes are just re-branded.

I can't see the link from work. CONN are organ tubes and yes, they are rebranded and can be any maker. But a few are more consistent than other. RCA, Sylvania, Raytheon are typical. You have to look at the structure to determine who made them. Sometimes there is a manufacturer's code, but many times not.
Organ tubes are selected so many times they are super quiet and non-microphonic.
The key if figuring out who manufactured them.

P.s I have some fantastic 1951 Westinghouse 12AU7's if you are in the market. Like these.

I see an EIA code of 274 meaning RCA did manufacture those. The Westinghouse I have are very rare."Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience.
