Holy Grail. i.e. you found your holy grail of tubes on your tube rolling journey.

I miss those days too. My wallet doesn't though :beyersmile: Hope @TK16 is well.

You two are some of the reasons I had to stop coming here...I always ended up broke every time I spoke to you both :darthsmile::darthsmile::darthsmile: Good to see you gents, hope you're well. FWIW, I moved from a Yggi to a Holo Audio May DAC (KTE), and from the MJ2 to a Holo Bliss amp (KTE)...

Westinghouse made their own tubes, and also cross branded tubes with Sylvania and RCA, but RCA usually had a box around the type designation stamp, so it's likely Westinghouse or Sylvania. Looking at the getter construction, I'd guess late 50s. If you can find a stamp anywhere on the tube, that...

KOOOOOVEEEEER!!!! Good to see you man, hope all is well in your world! PC88s work fine in the MJ2 by the way.

Not that low. Avo's aren't the best testers for 12au7s either. Maybe I should post this after snagging them :)

Yeah, similar story to the original 1956 Hamburg Valvo 6201 PWTMAG-SP, sounds good until you put the 58/59 PWTM back in and realize they don't even come close. Rare as rocking horse crap though, so I 'll keep them :) Only detailed photo I can find, I'll take one of mine this week.

My pair (coin base) sound average at best to be honest. Curious what Wes thinks of them? Edit, read Wes' reply after posting haha. Maybe my pair are duffers if they sound fantastic to you?

I can take a pair of them if it helps.

Mullard 6201 over the Fotons? You've clearly lost your mind since I've been away :beyersmile:

To be fair, they weren't made to drive esoteric headphone amps playing hi-res audio :beyersmile:

Sold.

My wallet was a lot happier when I was away from this place :dt880smile: I'm trying to talk myself out of grabbing them, as I already have enough tubes to last 6 lifetimes, but we both know what's going to happen within the next few days...

Likewise Sam, how are you?

I recently upgraded my studio audio interfaces, and the main interface sounds better to my ear than the Yggi, so decided to sell it. The Interface is a Universal Audio X16 - not much use to anyone outside production/studio use, as most people don't need 16 ins and 16 outs...
