Will these be Welded plate foil getter?

Anyone have an RFT EZ81 WPFG they are willing to sell? Please PM me if so

Do the two tubes need to be preferably matched? Can they also be different versions of the same tube type?

Just a bit to add to this - You can run a balanced Lampi DAC with half the set of tubes, which will render it single ended. This helps with tube exploration. Once a tube set is chosen, you will need a quad to operate in balanced mode.

If anyone has a pair of KR242 tubes they'll like to sell, please PM me.

I have a Line Magnetic 508ia amp I'm looking to run a pair of soon to be determined headphones. They put out 48W of SET power. I'm wondering if anyone has tried the same, or similar amps with a TOTL headphone.

Did your Pacific arrive? Can you share impressions? After living with a Golden Gate 2 for some years, I'm interested in rebooting my system with a Pacific.

Hello folks. I'm looking for some data points to determine if my Line Magnetic 508ia SET (48W) amplifier can drive these headphones effectively. Ideally, using the speaker taps. Any feedback from a similar use case would be highly appreciated.

Has anyone tried their Susvaras with higher power speaker SET amps. I have a Line Magnetic 508ia amplifier, and was looking to pair it with these headphones using the speaker taps. The amp puts out 48W. Any actual experiences, or extrapolations from similar pairing will be appreciated.

Which 6J5 tubes will you recommend one prioritize? I'm looking at exploring them.

Is the 6C5G a direct replacement for 6J5Gs? I'm looking to use them as a substitute for 6SN7s.

Kindly report back. Which are your favorite 6J5 tubes??

Any more 7AF7/7N7 impressions would be highly appreciated

After over four years is there still fervor for this legendary tube? I have a pair incoming to use in an amplifier. Any additional updates from folks who've already posted? Any new owners? I'll be sure to post my impressions once I have them run in.

Anybody tried the newly reintroduced EAT 300B tubes yet?

Beautiful setup. Is that a balanced Golden Gate I spy on the lower shelf? If so, what are your preferred tubes in it?

Nice camera there, btw. What do you use?

Stavros sold me a U52 last year and it's been working great. He's a great asset to this forum. This is the tube I ordered off eBay: It resembles the black base version you posted above. Thanks for posting the pics. I'm reassured now.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I have a pair of both the National Union Black Glass, and the Brimars incoming. I'll be using them in a Line Magnetic 508ia power amp.

@Wes S I have two National Union Black Glass incoming. I've been eyeing the Brimars but I'm not sure which variation I need to get. There are so many kinds. Can you elaborate on the properties of the pair you have and why you picked them over the others?

Unfortunately the ECC33 is incompatible with my amp. The National Union should be as it's a standard 6SN7. I'll give them a try. Any other suggestions from other members will be appreciated.

Hello all! I'm looking for a replacement for my Sylvania Bad Boys. Something with the same tonality that brings more to the table in terms of soundstage, transparency, palpability, etc. I already have the Tung-Sol BGRP, but find them to be cooler in my system even though I like most of their...

Can anyone comment on the difference between the TS 68FG flat plate vs. ladder plate vs. round plates?

I sold by Stratus two years ago but was wondering whether any Stratus owners have tried out Psvane's new Acme series 2A3s. I find their Acme 805s very exceptional, and their Acme 300B has been favorably compared to heavy hitters like the holy grail WE 300Bs. Considering their relative...

One more additional question, @billerb1, is the Marconi U709 the same as the GEC U709 that can be seen on eBay for exorbitant amounts? Also, have you or anyone on here compared a Brimar to the Marconi?
