Confused. Prices each or pair?

I wouldn't pay £30 (let alone £60) for a GEC sticker…

 

[louisxiawei]

Thanks UT? Good price?

Nah! UT is wrong, US$247 is not for a pair but just for single one 6AS7G, the description is clear enough in Chinese and I do can read .

The Tonenex, the price is for single one.
 
For the pictures I  uploaded with GEC labelled, it is used one and costing 2500 chinese yuan which is around £287 for a pair. 
 
£190 for single one new Tonenex 6AS7G
£250 for a pair of used GEC 6AS7G. 
 
Hope this time is clear enough.

You did say it's for a pair in post #12833 

 
US$247 for single is market price. There are some from India going for 200 and 250 each.

OK, makes more sense.

This looks the perfect specimen from Langrex at GBP 500 a pair.

Louis I reckon you should just buy the used GEC pair at GBP 250 if you really want those power tubes.

Haha, contacted them already. Too expensive for me. Langrex also has a flat bottom version of GEC 6AS7G cost £400. The curved bottom cost £100 more .

I think this langrex is actually having some connection to the  Billington Export Ltd since Langrex location is Billingshurst, West Sussex.
 
I will contact the chinese seller soon after the weekend. Thanks for the suggestion! Wish me luck

They are both in Billingshurst, as is Colomor…

Indeed, Billinghurst seems full of tube sellers, quite odd if they are not connected in some way considering it's only a village with a population of 7000.
 
I should visit there-or maybe relocate and live there.

It's a conspiracy! I'm sure it is! :eek: :rolleyes:

Hi louisx....I turn my back and WOW!...I end up being the last to "put my oar in"!!

 
Anyway, as folks have already said, they are indeed ALL genuine GEC tubes...and all the "best of the best", ie with the curved-bottom base...EXCEPT your pic of the 3 in a row of course, where only the middle one is. Your photo of the pair with the GEC stickers looks gorgeous...they don't look like they've had much use, but you MUST get confirmation they test OK...preferably with some indication of strength/hours' use etc. If it appears only slight use, I would definitely go for those, funds permitting...GOOD LUCK!!

When you're done buying the GEC 6as7g you should get onto this. post #12770
 
It's one of the defining sonic signatures from Elise.

Thanks but quite confused which one you are suggesting:
 
6BL7 + dual 6J5 per channel (Christmas tree setup)?  or the setup from the picture? I can't tell the driver and power tube model from the pictures as beinga noob here. Can you please be more specific?
 
Or maybe @HOWIE13 can help me out.

This - C3G and 5998

Cheers. But tbh I don't really want to go for the sonic signature too much as my T1 headphone is already sonic enough. Will try though.
 
post #12260 is the craziest setup I've ever seen. 
 
From the aesthetic aspect, I won't do any Christmas tree set-up myself, It just looks so nerdy and mental no matter how good the sound is. 

 
 
Trying to be minimalism yet sounds good.
