@AuditoryCanvas

Do you ship to europe?

Im in need for new pair of tubes, i listen to melodic death metal, rock, poprock(coldplay etc) mostly.

have 2c51 tungsols rn, but one of the tubes developed horrible microphonics, cant move even my mouse without hearing it.

Gear is LCD2-C, modi 2u and ofc the lyr 2, music thru Tidal.

looking for cheaper side tubes, 40-50$.

Happy to ship to Europe. Just sent you a pm so we don't derail the thread.

Well, with that kind of discount I'm hittin' the Buy It Now like, right now.

$55/tube, and not even claimed to be NOS. Just tested "good," which is rather subjective. Then it states "all tested good," but then further down "most were tested" before he got rid of his tester. He should be selling these at a real discount (like maybe $250 for the set) rather than at a premium.

Just my opinion, FWIW.

 

[TK16]

That is my opinion as well, for premium cash at least clean the pins.

Dear sir, if you do not respond back in 24 hours I'll have to suspect the Russians launched an auditory attack on your home and Homeland Security will be called in.

Did you call them?

Any thoughts on these yet?

I'm burning them in. Way too early to tell. A little congested and fuzzy outta the box. We'll see.

Them Russians take about 200 hours to be their best when they are new and unused IMO.
Far more than other tubes.

 

[gardibolt]

Anyone know why that is?

200 hours for the Fotons???

Someone here needs to start a tube-burning business.

It's oldguyradiola, they just changed the username. Didn't change the name of the store...

They've been saying they're closing down for the past year....

It's a shame he doesn't have 10 WE396A tubes...or I would be REAL tempted to go halves on this deal with someone.

You see that down to $350 grab em all and sell some pairs. Green pins are kinda rare too, most sellers clean em up before sale.
