Their entire response was "steel pin". They have to know these tubes are not E88CC else they would of provided a pic of the change code. I suspect it would be a 6DJ8 change code.

They must have had a brain fart. Menifee is supposed to be genuine tubes, just 4X overpriced. BangyBang is for the relabels and fakes. Must be a new employee that wasn't properly schooled and mixed up the listings.

Yeah no gold plated watch for this employees retirement party, maybe some nice cubic zirconia earrings instead.

LOL! And they'll be accompanied by a genuine BangyBang appraisal form stating they're worth $250k.

Or a bag of nearly legitimate looking $75 bills with Jimmy Carter on the front.

Back to legit tubes from a different seller than previously discussed, though I had quite a laugh. Was going through some Tesla 6CC41 tubes, never had them in my dac. They fit because no adapter needed. Freaking magical sounding 1956 pair. As good or better than the Foton 6N3P 3x. Though those are too big with the adapter. Highly recommend these Tesla. They do not sound like the E88CC Tesla at all if your squeamish about the Tesla name.

Nikola Tesla is my idol.

If only he'd lived long enough to fully realize the death ray....I'd keep one in my car to use on left lane pigs.

Seems like the gold pin machine is back in business, they seemed to remove the change code that is supposed to be over the date code. Did Heerlen ECC88 use the small halo getter?

Edit: Seems there are a few 6922 Bugle Boy around but I'm seeing large halo getter on them.

@bcowen and I had a blast yesterday discussing this yesterday I think.
He concluded the price was justified due to the silver pins.

I was thinking that link was all Bangy Bang absurdness and will probably be priced around $250. No...no...tying to comprehend that price made my brian reboot. Double U, Tee, Eff mate!

Silver colored pins. Not to nitpick or anything.

Oh you were kidding? Was under the impression you were serious. Think I'd better retract my offer before it's accepted. Ha.

Aren't you still on the 10 Most Wanted list of the Tube Dealer's Association? Better let me shoot him the $10 offer.
