Maybe the market has finally returned to reality.

I'm surprise no one jump on them yet.  I think I'm holding on my last two pairs.

Those 596 aren't on ebay anymore, right?

O.O Those aren't showing up on my side. 

 

[jc9394]

Are you outside of US?  Too bad, the seller only ship CONUS.

 

[Snips]

Ah, that explains it. Didn't notice the shipping. Makes me wonder about all the stuff I missed because they don't ship worldwide. 

 

[jc9394]

Shipping international is not fun, I lost couple packages to UK in the past and will never ship to that destination again.  Once USPS package entered UK, it is like a black hole, have no idea where the package is because the tracking it not working at all.  Shipping UPS and FedEx is way too expensive and the buyer usually got hit with brokerage/custom fee.

Has anyone tried the Western Electric 274B ?

Just curious, rather spend the money on upgrading the amp.

 

[jc9394]

IMHO, if the tubes combo cost more than the amp, upgrade the amp.   This is one of the reason I sold the WA22.  When I had the WA22, the most expensive tubes combo I used was Mullard metal based GZ34, TS BGRP 6SN7, and GEC 6AS7G which is around $1,300 but still cost less than the amp.

  Yes, no market for them now.  Good thing I did not listed on ebay or i will be eating the listing fee.

 But... we ARE the market! Looking back, I had no idea I would fall anode over heels with this rec.
