I don't know where Ripper is buying all of his, but I've never run across so many weak and/or shorted tubes.

Well, I'm asking for a second opinion on those tubes and will need them back. I'll be preparing a Writ of Habeus Tubus.

Out of 30 tubes I sent, only 1 made it back as good and it was a GE. I don't even own a GE tube.

I thought they were all National Union.

Too late. Just sold them all on Ebay as "Obtained from an audiophile that is unloading all his tubes. Appear to be NOS, but can make no guarantees."

I'll send you a percentage of the take...

We need to have a chat about that Tung Sol you labeled as a "bad boy"...

Or maybe you posted thinking you were on your 'masochist' forum.

He's exaggerating. I've only flunked 50% of his tubes. Can't remember which ones I sent back though...the bad ones or the good ones. Dang memory.

Yesh. I’m sticking with solid state until I grow up. And seek out superior recordings. My hobbies (SCUBA, chainsaws, telescopes, knives/axes) are pricey & finicky enough.

Yesh. I’m sticking with solid state until I grow up.

You know we're kidding, right?

Out of 30 tubes tested there was 1x questionable tube and one bad one. Jury is still out whether the questionable tube damaged the Lyr which then fried the tube subsequently tested as bad.

Don't ever do either: stick with solid state....or grow up.

Words of wisdom.
