Seller accepted a best offer of $39 on a pair of NOS-testing GE 5751 triple micas (slightly lower gain AX variant). Have you tried them AC? Brent Jessee raves about them: "Great hi-fi tubes, as the lower gain reduces noise and microphonics. These are all ruggedized and most can withstand a drop on the floor. The internal triode elements are matched as well." so I figured what the hell, cheap enough.

Off topic but got the word from the Schiit Boys on Wednesday to send in my Yggy for the Analog 2 upgrade. Been on the waiting list "queue" since July. Shipped it out yesterday and they should receive it Monday. I am REALLY stoked !!!!!!!!!!!! I know the yggy users here will be interested.

56 Mullard 12AT7 delivered to my house, AC's loaner adapters say Saturday delivery. Been holding up buying any Blackburn or Brimar until I hear this pair.

Checked the parcel box, key for it was in the mailbox, the box was completely empty no package. Saying it was delivered! What?!?

Interested plus happy for you plus jealous! Word on the street is that we'd get it in Europe February next year at earliest

Consensus seems to be more meat on the bone....across the spectrum. My thing is thicker, meatier timbre...more realistic harmonics and decay. And the cymbals gotta be right !!!
Most are saying that's what the upgrade does. I doubt I'll be disappointed.

Not sure if it's due to old age and senility or just having too many f'ing adapters, but apparently I already had one. Glad I looked before ordering...for once.

I'll give it a listen.

So what was the verdict?

I've read so many many different impressions on the upgrade that I don't know if I want to get it or not.

I trust your ears completely, so I'm going to wait on your impressions once you've got it back, and gone through the week long warm up I guess I'll then have to sit in the long waiting line. Wonder if they'll let me install the card myself and then just drop it in for the firmware update flashing to save waiting. probably not.

Haven't given it a listen yet. It's in my tube burner-inner now getting some time on it. It'll have about 30 hours total time on it tonight which should be sufficient...

These Valvo Hamburg 6201 59 PW are the real deal fellas. Initial impressions: Holy Schiit!

Man Bill, now I’m finding out you have really great taste in music. Love Plini. Listen to him daily. I’m gonna list a few YouTube vids to turn you on (or anyone else) to some stuff you’ve never heard? I’m gonna lead off with a great Plini track then progressively get a bit harder. All great stuff and all instrumental. I believe you’ll enjoy if you like Plini.
If you like his stuff, I can PM you a ton more.

i highly recommend these Valvo PW Hambug tubes to you bro for your listening pleasure, Foton 6N3P 3x 50`s, WE JW`s, 6922/CCa Heerlen PW. These tubes are like all those on steroids and HGH at the same time. They got Siemens print and boxes. Not even 24 hours in with burn in.
