I offered 100 if he would close the auction, never heard back so I did not bid. Won't bid on the raised price either.

I offered him $100 but them found some gold pins so I passed.

well then i would have listed it for $100 too - it's obviously an accurate market valuation

From what I've heard from other they're worth every bit and the gold pins are even better. Someone in this thread commented on them but can't remember who.

I moved the monarch nm24 into my speaker system. Now the digital end is fantastic as well. The TS in the dac and ecc82 heerlens in the amp. I prefer the d getter ge 5814a but every pair goes noisy after warm up. Rotten luck with those.

Pure comedy.

Who the ... bought those for that price?? Unless they know that seller's tester to be way off the mark, in which case they got a bargain...

I do hope they sell them honestly.

Anyone ever try these in a Lyr/Lyr2?

I'm wondering about the fit with just one regular socket saver installed. Are these too wide to fit into the recess? I've got the cheaper version, but want a backup/replacement, so figured I might upgrade. The cheaper version isn't even as wide as the Tubemonger socket savers, so there's a bit of room to play with.

Yeah, $12.47/tube could be a great deal.

Ugh, not such a good deal... I only count 60, not 62... No way, dealbreaker.

But then again, I know nothing about cathode resurrection.

I'm sure that's the unpublished William Gibson novel.

I have a pair of brass ones. Adapters, I mean. Somewhere.
Yes they fit, but I don't remember if those are the same adapters. They look OK.
Just ask for the dimensions. I like the heavier weight, not sure if it makes a difference.

LOL.
I did message the seller, but figured I'd ask here. Yep, the solidity of the octal adapters is what made me think of these.

Still bitter at being banned from buying for asking for a shipping date.

Nah, been new car researching and shopping.

Ask the dealership to throw in one of these as part of the deal so you can roll on the move.
