Fotons just arrived. It's a miracle they were unbroken as I'm guessing bubblewrap is in short supply in the Ukraine? :astonished:

Yep. Everything is recycled over there. The box my 6N23Ps came in looked like it was put through a ringer.

Wow! What vender man? I’ve never received anything from the Ukraine other then packeged great and tons of bubble wrap. Luckily they’re fine. I’m sure you've read to give them lots of time before making a decision in them. I’m not close to 200 hours TK recommends but they sound better each time I fire them up. All the Russion tubes take forever. It’s the only downside but for the money, a small price to pay and it’s a fun ride getting there. :v:

I mean the package that I got from the Netherlands for the Siemens CCA was not packaged well at all. I think I still have the pictures on the forum. Very thin box and plastic tubes inside.

To be fair, the box I got from Russia went a few rounds with Mike Tyson but had a bunch of padding. I would of expected the high price I was paying for the CCAs would of got me better packaging coming from the Netherlands. Got to give a big Russian Imperial Stout toast to the guy who packaged the Reflektors.

I once had a pair of tubes shipped from Russia in a normal letter envelope, no packing, loose tubes. How the fk they survived, I have no idea, but they made it all the way to my door intact.

I think TK16 had a box that was left out in the rain lol. So much for “Care Fragile”.

Sideways diamond with the tube type inside it, like this: (not to be confused with the diamond shaped OTK or military stamp. It will have the tube type inside.

On both tubes...6H3N inside the diamond. V on bottom left of the diamond, 66 on bottom right. OTK1 also on tube. Sound right?
