For $48 dollars shipping for a tube you should live on a space station for that to be fair. I sympathize; i've bought an item once too where I thought the price was good, then found out they added the cost to shipping instead.

Any advice on where I could find any now?
With 11 hours left, I hit the Buy button. I knew that sucker was heavy, but $48.00US for shipping.
Good thing I had a credit.
Man, those things dried up fast! Back when I bought mine (about 6 months ago, I think) there were a dozen or more listings on Ebay. Now there's nada.
Tubeworldexpress has some, but not for cheap.So do you have one coming? If not, send me a PM.

As to the TS 7236, I remember that they were constantly on sale last year starting at $35 and then moving up to $45 after we started to talk more about them. Some ham radio guy(s) was selling his cache if you believe the story. The word got out on them I suppose. So much for this thread being some kind of see-krit club.
Anyways, as to their sound, they are more forward sounding than the laid back RCA 6AS7G, kind of more solid state sounding. I have a couple myself.

I placed my order, but I won't be able to run them for at least a month. 
I ended up ordering seven:
6sn7 GTA singles:

6sn7 GTB singles:
-ge crome plates (usa)
-philips (japan)
-rogers black plate L6
-realistic lifetime (japan)
-sylvania PW
-Tung-Sol black plate (usa)
It was buy six, get one free. Total = $150.00, shipped
Of course my amp won’t be here until probably mid to late October...

I gave up on the NOS stuff for tube rolling on my DV and landed with the Winged-C 6H13C (6AS7) and the Psvane CV-181-TII (6SN7) and thought I couldn't be happier until I purchased my Anandas. The sound, while quite good, was a bit too "clinical" for my tastes. I recently swapped in a Psvane 6SN7-SE (which is half the price of the CV-181 and didn't take 4 days to get burn the hum away) and it is really something special. The signature (with the Anandas) is warmer with additional "punch & slam", slightly more forward without losing the space these headphones are known for. More high-end detail ("sparkle") is a nice cherry on top.
As usual, your experiences may differ.

Totally agree, although I am curious what that Sylvania "PW" is. Usually PW stands for pinched waist, but I've never seen a Sylvania 6SN7 with a PW. Hmmmm....

I will post pics. Should have them next week.
