I got both CCa, one triode is tad under the minimum on the PW using 21 bias on my tester. Still sounds fine. The Heerlen CCa pair tests good but 1 tube is microphonic. Got to be smoking some good schiit putting that pair for sale for $600.hah, I barely looked at the photos. Yeah, totally not pinched.

I just took out a pair of 57 3x Foton 6N3P been listening 100 hours, stuck in a pair of 59 3x Reflektor 6N3P. Don`t think I could pick out the right manufacturer in a blind test. The Reflektor 2x 59/60 6N3P does not sound as good as the Foton 2x 50`s 6N3P imo. You guys see any Reflektor 3x 50`s grab em up. Have not seen any on ebay recently though.

This is my second evening with the foton 3x.
This tube is stunning! It's the most holographic tube I've ever heard, hands down! The sense of depth and height is ridiculous! Center imaging is literally through the middle of your body.
Comparing to a tube like the 6c8g in soundstage, it may not be as wide in projection , but it's not that far off. It definitely beats it in 3D to my ears.
The bass has unbelievable slam, extension and dimensional presence!
The midrange is so realistic and believable, and by far the most emotionally connecting tube to date.
Treble has excellent extension , never shrill or sibilant, with a slightly wet sweetness to it. I absolutely love the air in the trebel.
When I say wet and sweet. The TS2c51 in comparison sounds dry and shouty.
Imaging may be my favorite part of this tube, next to its dynamics.
It's so dimensional, and the precision of placement in space is crazy af!
The dynamics of this tube will have you jumping or flinching at times. Even with music that I know like the back of my hand. Lol.
I still can't get over the depth and height in the soundstage and imaging.
How can a tube extract some much information and not sound like an analytical mess. This tube does. It extracts everything! I've heard new nuances, and spatial cues I've never heard before in known music.
What a welcome back folks!

Hmmm, AWESOME!!!! They offer financing so I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage this month. 24 months at $49 and probably 23% APR, I can actually get these after it's all said and done for about $1600. The value shipping is what puts me over the edge. Thanx guys, I'm pulling the trigger now.

I should post my Siemens Ccas up for sale for $2000 + free shipping. I'd make a killing like this guy rolling the eBay lotto.

Damn, I wish I had a rig to test all these because I’d buy them all. One of you guys ought to buy the lot and make a few bucks. Offer $55. Same seller, save shipping cost. Cheap.
Edit. You just added another one. Hmm, $70?

From my limited time with a tester and the limited Russian 6N3P`s I got from AC and ebay untested, these along with LM E`s are the highest testing tubes for Gm 396A, 2C51, 5670. Don`t think I got the patience to test all those tubes TBH. Those 58 Ref 6N3P you got from the same seller as me test strong.

I’m truly thinking about buying all 4 lots if someone else didn’t jump on it already. We have a huge meet coming up in a month and they'd probably arrive right before. I’m sure I can find someone who has tester.

Get a basic emissions tester that tests for shorts and gas. Says it is calibrated? , ask the guy any questions you got. Think shorted tubes can blow the fuse on the MJ2. Or worse?

Edit.
If you are interested hold off buying until you talk to AC.
