I have faith they will get here.

The seller gave me a Lithuanian Post tracking number.  It worked until it left Lithuania then the global post system didn't recognize the number.  


Great...thank you for the info.

Same exact issue with me--also ordered Jan 20--I just started a case with EBAY just in case they don't show up--

 

I am in the US

 

One time I ordered from Russia and it did take like 5-6 weeks--

 

Ordered from England took like 6 Days---Go figure!!!

I really want to get my hands on these Lorenz though, I'm glad I've got great tubes already in the meantime.

The tubes are the real deal as far as being Lorenz SEL, but it does seem to take a very long time to get them from that particular seller.  I do hope your wait is worth it.

I guess that's what greater than original Lorenz.  I should put that in my wishlist. L3000.gif

I know this thread is extremely large, and I'm not sure how to search through it all >.< 

 

I was wondering if you guys could recommend some tubes for my HD650? if possible, I would like to make the mids even more syrupy and smooth :D 

 

Also, where do you guys buy your tubes from? Is there a website that is trustworthy and reliable? 

 

I'm slowly getting back into hi-fi and figured I might as well start it off with tube rolling (opposed to buying new phones lol )

I can't access e-bay from work...what are the links?  The Lorenz Stuttgart tubes?  For the record, I didn't bid on them...

If I hang on to my Lorenz tube collection, in 10 yrs from now, I could probably offload them for a Maserati or a Rolls Royce!

Wow, that is stunning. Looks like both went to the same bidder ... not even matched.

I get most of my stuff from upscale audio. The Amperex 7308s might make a nice match for you, they sound pretty nice on my setup.
