That list I posted is not mine, but a person that I know and builds stuff..but this is a Schiit thread and will not post another persons stuff... The list is a nice reference on the many types of tubes in this family and someones opinion on how they "rate" to them and their stuff".. If anyone...

For all you Schitty Tube Fanatics: YMMV

I have two of these in my iFi dac. Never opened it up. The new batch of Westinghouse 12AU7's are better than the three untested ones I got... These are all tested, and matched...had to pay $40 for 4 of them! With HD 650s in Vali 3 they are very decent. Amazing little amp. Alex Saw this: "Yet...

For a good history of the 5670 tubes: https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=148150.0 Alex

I just got a 5 star GE 5670/2C51 from a guy in Canada. Will see how this holds up to the non 5 star versions Alex

Livestream!! Just got the 4 new NOS Westinghouse 12AU7's... listening now. :>) Alex

Now Tom....are u going to be abstaining from all "libations" OR Going to really enjoy the experience!! lol! Alex

Well, this makes me feel great in finding a WE 396a for $20 last year!! These deals are long gone..

Well thats sad.... There is a site in Germany that sell the Bendix labeled ones for $180 +/- Euro/pounds.. Gosh these tubes are getting wayyyyy too costly..

You can get a Bendix 2C51 from Dale Rogalski at : https://vacuumtubes.net/ for $25 + shipping. Mine is a United Electron Brand. According to Dale: United Electron was a re-brander and did not make their own tubes. We can tell by the construction that they were made by Bendix and sold to United...

Pretty Decent tube...

Got three Westinhouse 12AU7's today, ebay untested...so its a crap shoot, but the price was decent. 1 test very good and matched well. 2 is medium strength. matched well. 3 is on the low end of life cycle... 1. Sounds very good. 3. Sounds crappy. 2. Is decent.. Amazing on how these track to...

Great this will be good...I have both here and am interested in your opinions on both tubes.

Life is funny! Putting these tubes in the Lowes Kobalt toolbox, I found two small GE 5670w's! LOL! Gosh its fun to be 74 yrs young! They were in one of those cardboard boxs!! Hidden in time. Heck I dont even remember why I have these!! Atomicbob over at site "x" stated please dont buy up the...

I had my small stash of tubes all over the place...went to Lowes today and saw this small cute tool box for $20. Hmmm, tubes ? Maybe? Well: I use this area for photoshop and printing, matting and framing photos...long story, another money pit. Now its mostly a headphone listening room...

Midgard is another Jason Stoddard wonder amp...stellar all around...if you really honest and compare with other SS amps it will surprise the heck out of you... No real competitors to Vali 3 with 100 volts on the plates that I know of...for $149!!!! Vali 3 VS...

Working at IBM in the Test Center for memory chips, I had three of these 1800 systems that I had to calibrate, run diagnostics, etc..fun! SLT logic and tons of wire warpping...

Been running an inhouse competition between the Schiit Vali 3 and Schiits Midgard Although I love the Vali 3 and all the recent tube experiments...I have to say that the Midgard really tops the little Vali 3...even with the really good tubes. There is just more power and thus control of most of...

Awesome..

Had three of these 1130's that I had to maintain back in the early 70's...OMG! Back in the day we used these computers and others (1800 series) with core memory to test semiconductor memory chips and modules... ran millions of test patterns into memory for quality assurance and functionality.

How about Token Ring and PC Jr Cluster! HA!

Then there was the trusty 5100:

EMM386 !

Worked for IBM 32 yrs 10 months! Was at the day 1 announce of the PC. Then there was this: RISC!

Listening to my Rad 0's now with Schiit Midgard amp and Schiit Modius E dac...via SE. Superlative, bass to die for...open, wide, tonality excels! Great can a a great overall value IMO. Alex
