What do you guys think of this set and price?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-3-Amperex-6DJ8-ECC88-/182106688385?hash=item2a66678b81:g:4IUAAOSwYmZXHnY5
Not interested just curious.

 
Insanely expensive, esp. for 6DJ8/ECC88.  The seller doesn't even attempt to justify the price, lists them as Used at the top, then NEW in the description.  The construction resembles later (70s) Siemens (those pointy, down-turned bits at the outer edge of the mica; the skinny post getter support), but maybe that's how they rolled in Japan.  One tube has "79-28" printed on it.  I'm not saying they're fakes (seams at the top).  Maybe Philips licensed "Amperex" to some Japanese company, which used Siemens manufacturing techniques.  Interesting find, though.

Still pass at 54 or 5.40. These tubes have been on ebay quite a while, showed up in my search for amperex. Wonder if they are better than Tesla, Bill you have an opinion on this? Lmao.

 
$0.54 is about right.
 
Seriously?  Cat's claws across a blackboard sound better than Teslas in Bill's alternate reality.

Thurston's monkey is listening to Teslas.  
Does it look happy ??  No, no it doesn't.  
So the question becomes 'are you more man than monkey' or 'more monkey than man'?
In this answer is the truth of the Teslas.  Your very own truth.

Are We Not Men? We Are Devo!
D-E-V-O.
 
Don't mind Bill, people, he's got an Uncontrollable Urge.  I'm not sure if that's because he's a Mongoloid, or just Jocko Homo, but either way....  Clearly he's got Too Much Paranoias.

 What is the uproar about Tesla E88CC's? They have a sound signature close to Siemens, and Telefunken in my Lyr 2, and their cost is reasonable. I like Tungsram E88CC's, and Ei PCC88's, does that make me a villan?

Just joking. No offense intended to Tesla or Thurston. Actually started with jokes about crazy price being asked on eBay for a triplet of tubes.

Never heard Teslas, if they are that good, I'll have to give them a try.
