Are you talking about those abomination Philips with the blue text/print?

Yes. I only have one 6SN7 (thankfully), but have several 5814's and 6922's that are just nasty, nasty tubes.

Agree....without spending a fortune. That's the good steel plate version with the metal spring mica supports and silver edges at the top and bottom of the plates. The version lacking the mica supports and silver edging is rather ordinary to my ears. Not bad at all, just not as good as the other.

I preferred the one below to the first Chatham WA I had, so I sold that one. This one never gets use but I kept it.

I tried the 6922 phillips blue ones. Its really one of the very few times I really felt robbed and cheated. I actually threw mine out.

I waited awhile to find one of them. Luckily.. it was true NOS in factory box and all.. plus after I tested it, triodes are perfectly matched too.

You were smart. If I didn't have this hoarding collecting affliction, I'd have taken a hammer to mine in an act of vengeance.

Hmm…vacuum tubes that really suck…

LOL..nice.

When you get them that pristine, keep them, I let one go to a known Barbie collector here.. not letting the other one go, about as mint as yours. My pair when I got them came with a hand written note, that the pair were sitting in his desk for a long time, he didn't want to see them go unused, so he sold them so that they could "sing". Have the Ugly Duckling copy (from Leeds) on sale at the moment, same everything but the prints all gone, as if someone smuggled it in the states up their colon.. (not pictured)

Most tubes manufactured were not intended for audiophile use in mind when they were made. The Bendix 6080 for example, was made for guided missiles. Computers, radar, automobiles, television... not for headphones. Then some hippies got bored and started experimenting with them...rest is history.

Get these:

....Edit: I also just remembered that I have two, I would sell one if you want a discount. I bought them as a two pack but only really need one.

interested. PM sent.
