Very cool! I know nothing about it, but if no one here has an idea I'd contact Brent Jessee and see what he knows/has. www.audiotubes.com

I've never seen one like that..

http://imgur.com/Vut7k2J It's average.. Right?

Out of curiosity, what year are they?

I'd love to see some pictures of frequency charts. I remember mine seemed different, but I can't remember. I'll post a picture when I get the chance.

Congrats on the tubes. They should be a big improvement over the stock and sound great! Keep us updated!

Compared to the 1968 orange globe O getter I'd say the RTCs are more open and detailed. It's hard for me to describe, but they seem more musical. It's just so clear and it sounds like real music to my ears. Probably a little less on the lower end with more detail towards the higher end. I was...

I highly recommend the RTCs if you have the money to spare. I'm tempted because they are also in incredible shape. They don't come around often and I can't recommend them enough.

Hmm... :)

Maybe. I remember when I was finally ready to buy I noticed the price went up a little and that's when I asked. Haven't paid any attention lately

The price seems to fluctuate on their site. When I emailed them they said they adjust the price according to availability of the wood. Prices seem to stay the same from other dealers like woo audio. As far as sound quality difference I don't believe there are any. No first hand experience, but...

First song and a half impressions: over the length of the last thread I've read about veils being lifted or dirty Window panes being cleaned. This is the first time I've heard it clearly. This is coming from the 1968 OG halo getter. The detail is insane. After all the hype I almost wanted to...

Hello..

Well I think I am about ready to place my order! Would anyone recommend getting the VCAPS or just stick with the beeswax? What about the XLR options? I am using the stock cable with my LCD2's and will upgrade eventually. Any advantage of the 4 pin over the 3 pin? Thanks all!

That is something I'm working on myself. I like to make a short playlist of songs I know well and maybe take a few notes on how it sounds. Hopefully with my next pair of good tubes I will be able to notice some difference between them.

$155.. Fair?

Ha, not what I meant or what I said? Any who, not sure about the difference between the years. People seem to prefer the older ones thinking they sound best. I would also be interested what others who have maybe heard both would say the differences are. Let us know what you think of the '69s!

Quick shout out to Sceleratus who sold me his RTCs and is still providing excellent service despite being banned from head-fi for "bickering" also if you are ten years old and are under the impression that everything you spend money on will last forever, this hobby is not for you. Tubes can be...

I would suggest checking out some amperex orange globes. I have the Halo getter 1968? Version and love them with my lcds. They offer a nice punch in the lower end with liquid smooth mids and aren't horribly expensive.

Glad to see this up and running. I will be receiving a pair of '65 E188CC La Radiotechnique RTC tubes soon. Can't wait!

Huzzah!

Everyone slow down! We don't want to overload him! So.. Are you taking new orders? :)

Sounds awesome! Now if I can skip the room fees by convincing someone to let me crash on their couch I'll be set!

I don't have an order placed for Trevor, but am getting worried for everyone else. Hope he didn't hop the border.. I'm sure everything is fine though..

On the topic of Lorenz being out of this world, what do you think of these?http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=290848900203
