Maybe leave open for a week or two for thread regulars to see?

 

[Ultrainferno]

Sure, I'll give it another week, I'm not in a hurry

That makes 10! I'll keep it open for a few more days and then close and send PMs to those interested

 
Anyone else interested in the RCA labeled Tung Sol 6SJ7WGT with the rare mesh plates? If not I'll call the dealer on tuesday and keep it with these 10 tubes.

Of course they're NOS. 80€/pair + shipping and PP fees. No need to PM, it's no secret

I am in for 2 as well. I am about to order the amp in the next few days, I hope.

What version will you be going for? Silver or black? Input tubes 6SJ7 or 6C5?

I am thinking 6SJ7 as I do not feel I want any added warmth to an already putatively warm amp. I am still trying to decide between the color! for some reason, the silver looks less pedestrian to me, but it would be nice to be more unique with the black (which is of course irrelevant).

Do you have any advice on input tubes, based on your experience ?

Here are some driver tubes well recommended in this thread, I have been eyeing for a while but the price is so high:

Power tubes; the russian svetlana + stock chinese 6N139 / shuguang 6AS7G are the cleanest I have heard and are as low as $8 - $10 per tube.

Wonderful. Thank you! I need all the help I can get with saving money. I shall look into these in the future.

Well, I decided to go with black and have just placed my order finally. I now wait for hopefully a smooth delivery.

Congrats. Hope it arrives swiftly, in good condition and that you enjoy it as much as the rest of us do

Thank you. This will be my first OTL amp ever. It was between this and the LD MKIV, but I finally decided on this due to the fact 刘颐 uses better components.

ok, I'm sending PM's to those who wanted the 6SJ7WGT tubes.

the 5693 'red hot' driver/input tubes are good. GE or RCA brand doesn't matter, they're all made at the same place.

Okay, thank you. I am waiting on shipping confirmation from Yuking. Hopefully it ships soon!

The stock russian 6*4 driver tubes that they will arrive with are not too bad and can tide you over until you get replacements. The biggest problem with the russian stock tubes are they are very bright, the sibilant 'S' sound is more pronounced on them that on 6SJ7 variant tubes. RCA 6AS7G are warmer sounding, for a clean sound the russian and chinese 6AS7G are good imo. I'm using the stock chinese (shuguang?) power tubes at the moment in fact.
