FS 12au7 tubes (some CV4003 and M8136 tubes too)

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

I think I have too many tubes, so it's time to sell some, if possible.  Prices do not include shipping.  I would like to keep this in the CONUS, but if you live somewhere that is easy to ship to, I would be happy to do it.  For your consideration:

Mullard M1836.  The printing on the front is worn clean off.  They sound great though, it's easy to see why they are so popular.  $20.

Brimar CV4003.  I'm a big Brimar fan myself.  $20

Philips SQ E80CC.  These are great, in 30 minute intervals.  Seriously, these are very powerful.  $25.

Tesla ECC802S.  I always have trouble remembering all of that.  I remember one site saying that only Telefunken and Tesla made this tube, and that they were the pearls.  $25.

Siemens E82CC.  Another well regarded tube.  Sold

 

To the bargain bin:

Sylvania GB 5963.  I'm not sure, but I think these are the best American tubes.  A good bargain too, since these are just about as good as any tube you'll hear in the 12au7 family.  $10.

Hytron 5814.  Cool name, huh?  Leeds charges $40 for this; trust me I know.  The word euphoric is often used to describe the sound of these tubes.  $10.

RCA 5963.  A little meatier, compared to the Sylvania.  Could be a good thing or bad, depending on your setup.  $5.

A pair of Tung Sol 5687 Bronze plates.  I admit, I have a Raptor.  $15.

And finally, a GE Five Star 5814WA.  $5.

 

All tubes are in good shape, please pm me with any questions.  Time for a nap.

Bump.

Bump for a status update.  I have another Brimar CV4003 that isn't as quiet as the one I've sold, but I'd take $15 dollars for it.  Same goes for a Mullard M1836, this one has the shield emblem intact.  Again, two tubes that aren't perfectly quiet.  Will be listing some Brimar 13D5 tubes soon, for $20, (mi favorito, amigos) Amperex 8416 tubes (gold pins!) for $10, and some Siemens E80CC tubes for $25 too.  I've been hoarding tubes, but now I realize I should have been packing lighter, just in case I have to make a getaway...

A note about shipping; I'm not charging for boxes or anything, just looking at the USPS site to try to gauge the cost of shipping as well as possible.

Okay the pictures.

Amperex 8416.  You can see the number on the reverse side, made in Holland.  Great vocal quality, but I like to use it in conjunction with the Tung Sol 5687.  Really helps make brass instruments come alive.  Curiously enough the few places that have it don't ask for much.  $10 each.

Siemens E80CC.  Similar to the Phillips, probably a little more detailed.  $25.

And the Brimar 13D5.  I have the most of these.  Just a crystal clear quality that makes it my favorite.  Listen the Everyday by Buddy Holly, and you'll be stockpiling these too.  Love that passage with the triangle.  I think it is the sound of a triangle anyway.  $20.

 

Hope you guys had a good weekend, please pm me with any questions, concerns, or offers.  I'm all ears.

Bump.  I recommend  the Tesla ECC802S to anyone who has any gear that uses 12au7 type tubes.  You really can't go wrong with that, unless you already have one.

Would you be willing to ship to Australia?
