Nice score @kolkoo !
Hard to go too far wrong for five bucks.

I picked up a good but not NOS pair of 1959 12AX7A Raytheon blackplate Baldwin organ pulls just now. They seem to have a good reputation so they should be fun to try.

Think I need to pause for a bit and evaluate all these new acquisitions more closely. I feel like I have a good selection of 12A*7 family to play around with now, and frankly I'll be surprised if anything surpasses the ECC801S.

The 1962 GE 5751 triple mica greyplates are better today than yesterday but still a pretty big hole in the midrange. But if you want bass, boy do they have bass.

Yep. That rabbit hole is deep.

Tube life used to be simple JC. No more. I personally blame AC.

Bill, AC, Sammy, TK...I'm blaming somebody.

Especially when your ECC801S is the legendary double ring getter from 1957!

I blame Sammy and A.C. I surely take no blame in this situation, despite being called out couple posts above.

Me, I plead the 5th. I am a 6922 dinosaur, just starting to be comfortable with a few other variants. Sammy...he's still recovering from his near-death experience on Everest. TK, he's just flat out crazy. AC is the bad one. And don't forget rnros, who I believe to be the mastermind behind this whole dark conspiracy.

You're all addicts. You'd have spent the money on tubes anyway. I just tried to help you all spend it wisely

So smooth. So innocent. The most dangerous kind.

Haha, the first step in addiction recovery is accepting responsibility

From what I was reading these are the cream of the crop 12AT7s

Pleaase the 10M was just regular Mullards (Blackburns onr Mitchams) with a fancy print nowhere near the cream of the crop!
