Those bucks would have scared my deerhounds. One of them once took on four moose and a year later a bear but this would have been too rich for him!

We have an English Shephard, a breed that most are unaware of.
Today on the FB English Shephard Society group, some lady said one of her ES's was killed by a moose last night. Broke its neck.
I'd lose my mind if my dog was killed by anything. We will be adding a Cane Corso big little brother to the family in a years time, or if we move to an extremely rural area, a Caucasian Ovcharka.

Here's two big bucks, BroLo and RoLo

The 14.50 GBP shipping killed it for me...

I will be looking into the dual 6C4 path next as an alternative, which should yield very good results if they are anything like the 6J5-6SN7 relationship!

Great idea!

WTH?! I know those 1600 date coded Mullard 12AX7 go for a lot of money - but I meant in the 300 GBP region. That 1600 E3 must be the very first year of production of the Mullard 12AX7 - maybe 1953? I have one from 1954, but I stopped looking for a second for a pair once I saw where prices were going.

$1550 for a single noval? The world is truly about to spin off its axis. Who wants to bet it's going to be used in a $500 amp?

On a related note... there was some discussion of "alternative assets" in a weekly financial newsletter that I receive on a Sunday every week. I didn't see tubes get a mention though.

ALTERNATIVE ASSET BUBBLES

Erin Griffith wrote in The New York Times yesterday that manias abound in alternative assets.

From crypto art to trading cards, people are engaged in “a series of manias that have gripped the financial world. For months, professional and everyday investors have pushed up the prices of stocks and real estate. Now the frenzy has spilled over into the riskiest—and in some cases, wackiest—assets, including digital ephemera and media, cryptocurrencies, collectibles like trading cards and even sneakers.”

Dangit. I was planning on tubes to fund my retirement. Perhaps empty Amazon boxes will be a 'thing' soon and I'll get disgustingly rich...

Or you could market them as: (1) affordable housing in a tight housing market; (2) bases for the Cowen-branded GE-tubed IEM amplifiers...

$1550 for a single 12AX7 is definitely insane. My guess is that some crazy guy in a rich rock band bought it, as 12AX7's are used a lot in those vintage tube guitar amps.

But again $1550 is just an insane price, a rational person won't spend his/her money like that. I guess Bill Gates won't do so, but Axl Rose in his heydays might do it...

I think people can find similar 12AX7 tubes in the $50 - $300 range, but that ebay noob (with 0 transaction record) just had to spend his/her 1120 GBPs on it...

Minnows for the bangybang and high_wege_tube sharks

 

[Smallpie]

What are people’s combos they use to get:

-a very wide/deep soundstage?
-warm tubey sound?
-very detailed transparent sound?
- neutral signature?

Minnows for the bangybang and high_wege_tube sharks

LOL...I guess that's how scammers like bangybang, menifee, wege_high_tube and the like can survive, huge minnow this time though

Someone grab these super nice tubes at a super cheap price. They are all early 50's Philips. Siblings to the metal base EL34 but at about 1/10th the price. Work with adapters in the GLE3N amp. I run these a lot.

OK...someone bought them...I can rest easy
