He's selling 2 tubes. Not 2 quads...

He has 4 tubes available I think, they are also here:

I read e-bay add wrong ......it is still a good deal

He sure is....if he was just selling pairs I may have gone for a pair

The ad got me a little confused - now it looks to me that he is selling a total of eight tubes divided in two lots of four for $125 each tube/or best offer?
Each listing states four available so it looks like he would sell pairs.

I bought 1 pair from @Velozity earlier this morning. So if anything is left - it would be 1 pair at the most...

Enjoy the tubes! - the GEC 6080 is right up at the top with a select few.

Now you make me feel bad for not picking both pairs...

Don’t feel bad - if you are patient you will always find more if you need them.
Try them out and see how you like them!

LOL guys, sorry if I confused you. I guess I was lazy. I listed the tubes individually but used the same pictures for all four listings since the pics showed all four tubes. The titles state which tube the listing is for and the body of the listing shows the test results. Like Zachi said, I sold him two this morning and pulled two listings from eBay. I still have two tubes left and they're still a matching pair as they test within 5% of each other and have the same construction and appearance. They're just from different years (1966, 1964). They are the 109/107 tube and 104/104 tube. These came from Martin Billington originally.

I have never tried a 6080 quad in my GOTL... Any opinions on how it compares to a pair of 6080 tubes specifically in the GOTL?
I am still very tempted to pay extra to @Velozity for the 2nd pair...
(Mike - do not ship my pair just yet... )

Many times one pair of 6080 will be enough- it all depends on the synergy with the driver tubes. Adding a second pair may give you more power and punch; again, it also depends on the headphones you are using. I think that the conventional thinking is that low impedance and hard to drive headphones may benefit from a quad of 6080s.

Too many tubes (and other crap junk toys). No storage space left 10 tubes ago...
"Fun" living in a 2 bedroom apartment...

Ha. Yeah I get it...at a point you say, man I can't listen to all of the tubes now!

Haha. I think that point was 25-26 tubes ago...
I have enough tubes to last the lifetimes of my 14 year old son, his future kids and their kids and grandkids. But hey - if I become the first person to live to 325 years of age, I will have enough tubes to enjoy daily music

Then you have that little voice that says: "Just buy them, the prices always go up - it is a good investment...."
