I paid about $150 (not including shipping) for a pair of Amperex 7308 Holland SQ gold pins (relabeled as Gold Aero 7308's) from Misterrogers. Originally they were for sale a tad more expensive.

Just picked up a pair from them, Platinum grade, cryo added.
 
If I could get Harry Potter to enchant them, would have got that as well, LOL.
 
Also, got a pair of the Tungsram 6922 as well.

I just bought a few pairs of Amperex tubes to try.. A pair of '69 A getter Orange globes and a pair of '64 Bugle boy O getters... I'm looking forward to hearing what they bring to the table...

"Same here lol
 
The reason why I asked ,is because on a few occasions, the SS partial came out,&,ended up going side ways..rolling around inside the Lyr
 
Had to use a pair of needle nose pliers to get them out......HaHa...??

  " A pair of '69 A getter Orange globes "
 
They give good strong bass,and a nice warm mid section.,much better than the GE's that came with Lyr...imho.
 
Another one ,you might want to try is the PQ version,very ,very close,but has just a bit more detail..at least on my LCD's.
 
Haven't tried the BugleBoys....yet
 
 
 Hope this helps,
Mike

Thanks Mike, that sounds good to me.  I've only rolled in some Matsu's and RCA's at this point and the RCA's were surprisingly better than the GE's and the Matsu's to me.  I expected more from the Matsu's, but they weren't as big an upgrade as I was hoping for.  The RCA's had a much blacker background and really had more of a 3D effect than the Matsu's.  I've only begun to dabble in rolling, but it's definitely been fun.  I'm sticking to my budget (so far) and I'll keep searching for the best bang for the buck. The LCD 2's or HE500's are in my future, so the tube rolling budget isn't going to expand anytime soon.
