Great pics guys.

Right when I am on the edge of getting a new rectifier and then I see that nice fat bottle Cossor .
Really cool what a camera phone can do.

5687 are nice sounding tubes too.

Really enjoying this combination right now with the Verite.

National Union 6SL7 and Bendix 6080WBs.

Nice. I've got a Bendix 6080WB for my Crack w/Speedball. First foray intro into tubes.

I have been rolling through rectifiers to see which one seems to have the best synergy with the clear-top 5998s and the WIRAG EL3N, and I think I have settled on the Cossor 53KU.

(Oh, I recently picked up a Pixel 3 cellphone and this was taken using "Night Sight". A pretty nice pic if I do say so myself..

I have a Pixel 3XL and it's camera is quite amazing.They put some black magic in that thing for sure.

Ericsson is a Swedish company. Dont know if they made tubes though.

Was listening to my Auteur and one o my Ericsson EL3s went bad stared popping and static.
I thought it was neat to have a pair of these don't really know who made them but oh well no good now.

Hi Glenn.
If the Ericsson tubes were labeled EL3D they were made by Hungarian Tungsram if I remember correctly.
L.M. Ericsson did manufacture tubes. A Swedish 6SN7 variant (33s30) made for artillery pieces sells for mega dollars - well over $1000 for a single tube. It was made by Standard Radio of Sweden but I don't know if this company was owned by Ericsson.

There is a nice NIB pair on eBay for a cool $3,900. Could take out a loan, or maybe the seller has financing options.

Very similar to RCA 5962, here is a pair of SS33S30 with gold plated pins.

They were used in Beaufort gun turrets on vessels as they could withstand the hostile environment.

Yggy and the OTL amp set up now with Sylvania 6sn7w metal base and Fivre / Los Gatos 6 x 6bx7gt. It's all I need for a lovely music, lots of sunshine still, exercise and new friends. Life's wonderful and the music's incredible sounding.

I love hearing what the tubes were used for back in the day...thanks for the history lesson

I have been doing a little comparison between the sound of the ECC31 & ECC32 with my ZMF Atticus to determine if there is much difference to my ears.
At this point I would say not much...I will not rush to judgement and will listen for a week or so playing some of my favorite albums to be more certain.
It takes me awhile to wrap my head around a sound.

I am probably one of the few who use a digital camera now

They are EL3D and look like other EL3D I have from Tungsram. Sounded good for awhile now back to Philips EL3N.
Think the Philips EL3N sound better now that I switched back to them.

So these are the tubes to use with Metallica?

Is that a cocobolo Atticus, Joe? The wood grain is beautiful, would love to hear the Atticus bass in that wood.

Hi Keenan,

Yes it is a cocobolo Atticus, and thanks for your kind words. Zach's work is truly impeccable, such a wonderful craftsman.

It is not the hardest or the most dense wood...but it is right up there and it sounds wonderful. The slam of the bass is quite addicting.

Here it is with a fresh coat of polish...I need to polish again soon.
