@L0rdGwyn bought the last several pairs on the planet.

It's called being a disruptor

I still have FOMO for Tung Sol 7802's. @L0rdGwyn bought the last several pairs on the planet.

I'd never even heard of that tube type...until now. Looks like it plays in the same ballpark as a 5998?

It's a pretty rare one, highest gm tube of the 6AS7G / 5998 family! 20K micromhos vs. 14K micromhos for the 5998. They are pretty much extinct though, I don't think many were made in the first place.

Another one of interest is the KT90. Sadly it's not a dual triode, so you would have to buy more of them, but they have a transconductance of 15K micromhos and they are WAYYYY more linear than any tube in the 6as7 family.

But I still prefer super triodes over normal OTLs.

Have several of the Type 3's in the stash. Big, ballsy, dynamic sound (compared to 6550's and KT-88's). Never tried them in a 5998/6AS7 app though.

They are one of the most underrated tubes out there.

Apparently. I was hitting up people in Europe, contacting all the big tube dealers I knew of. Most of them had never even heard of it!

I just posted a lot of tubes that go well with the GOTL. Let me know if any interest you guys and I’ll give you a great deal.

Hit you up about the adapters.

Speaking about tubes, it appears to me that new tubes generally run hotter in the beginning of using them, compared to when they are burned in.
Did anybody notice this?
Is there an explanation for it?

I've never really noticed this, but then I haven't been paying attention to it either.

Well, I have noticed it and yesterday my finger reminded me of it lol! I am burning in a tube and it was much hotter than I thought - 77C. After a few more hours of use and cooling off overnight it now measures 64C under the same conditions.

When was your finger last calibrated?
