If you do EBay search for 12AT7 pinched waist 2 horribly inflated price wise are there. Don't recommend buying from that seller. Where are you located?

Quebec, Canada. The only result for me is this :
1 NOS tube 6201 ECC801s 12AT7 pinch waist Valvo Hamburg 1959 (811001)

Going for $225.

Oh yeah, saw these ones as well but wasn't sure if they were the ones we were looking for. Those are very expensive tubes, is it the normal price for the 12AT7WA tubes? If so, then they must be that good. If you compare them to the popular WE 396A, what's different, what's better? Cause in the near future I might buy a pair of these so I want to have all the information I can get before buying, since 600+ canadian dollars is very, very expensive for a pair of tubes. Thanks

No horribly overpriced bro. Had a pair of the 61 6201PW Hamburg for sale in my sig, pulled sales for personal reasons. But jf you are interested shoot me a PM. Shipping is expensive though. I normally only ship in the USA.

And takes a loooooong time too if Canada Post is still on strike. I bought from a Canadian seller on Ebay back in late October. He provided tracking the next day and I finally received it a full 3 weeks later.

At this point, even something from China would arrive more quickly to your door.

Ordered in October? Hmmm. we legalized marijuana in October too. Took 3 weeks shipping? Coincidence?

How did you know marijuana was what I purchased? You hack my Ebay account or something?

I was making a joke that it was probably due to stoned Posties that your order took so long… Now we know your shame

What would be a shame is if you saw all my Pabst Blue Ribbon purchases. I'd have to find some other forum to start all over in.

Anyone know a good Otolaryngologist? I fear something horrible has happened to my ears. I like these National Matsu’s now...

Nothing wrong with your ears bro, you just have not heard better sounding tubes. Very early on I really liked some RTC Mullard Mitcham E188CC dimple getters, they wound up being the absolute worst tubes I ever heard to this day. Very end of the other spectrum are the Hamburg 6201PW.

I guess...funny thing is I hated them when I first got them. Thought even my 1970 6N2P were better. Now I think these sound better than the 1958 bugle boys I have.

 

[Guidostrunk]

Yep. Just get the adapters bro. It'll save you a lot of money in the long run.
