B6/57 could be the code. Sorry my eyesight is not as good as before.

There are many tubes that last for thousands of hours, but a pair of 9 pin tubes for $1000............not something I'm doing even if the cost per hour is $1 or perhaps less.

Smart. I love tube rolling, but what I'll spend on a tube is finite.

Heck, the life of the tube(s) is also finite!!!!

I'd really like to see any 9-pin tube last for 10k hours as some are claimed to. Of course everything is dependent on how the tube is run in the circuit (is it loping or being pushed to its limits) but i think even 5k hours is a stretch on a 9-pinner. Just my opinion, but a little experience behind it as well.

Man, the one I linked is much cheaper. It's ok to post for fun here.

I just put in a pair of 1957 Amperex PQ 6922 Pinched waist (Holland) last night that I got off of TK like 1.5-2 years ago. I've been busy over the past year or so buying and listening to every other kind of variant other then the 6922's. Man, I gotta give credit where credit is deserved but this is a very solid sounding tube. Paired in the MJ2/Gumby on the Aeolus, holy schittballs, what a great sounding combo. I can't believe I gave up on these because I was stuck on everything else....at least this specific set of tubes.

Just recently rolled in my last pair of Heerlen PW CCa, got that tube rated 2nd in my list and have not used them since I started using adapter tubes. Sounds glorious.

That is the only pair of 6922's, that I am currently looking for! One of these days, I hope to own some.

Finally got a great pair of the Brimar ECC82 55 square getters. An extremely good tube around the $150 mark. Not quite up to the Blackburn ECC82 57`s, but easily in my top 10 all time list.

Curious if that pair of Brimar, have copper grid post? I saw a single a while ago, that had copper grid post, and think you bought it. I have a Blackburn 57' square getter ready to go, for my Bottlehead Crack, that is arriving on Thursday. However I still need to find a Brimar square getter.

No idea on the copper grid post. I have a NOS+ testing 1956 square getter single you can have for $50 shipped if you want?

I will take it! Thanks man!

Score! Thanks TK16! I am all set, now

You should have countered at $45.

That would of been unrespectfull. Another $110 would get the carpet included.
